Android ported to the iPhone

There is a God!  The Google Android mobile OS has been ported to the iPhone.  While the developer states that it is still a little buggy and only works for the iPhone 2G not the 3G or 3GS it is still a step in the right direction.

The developers of manage to get Android ported to the iPhone 3G.  While it doesnt have sound yet, you can see that this project has taken off.  I am sure that it will not be long before a working 3GS demo is released.  Here is a demo of Android on the 3G

Barcode Scanner Written For Android Phones in Just 6 Lines of Code

Here’s a barcode scanner written in six lines of Python code using the Google released the Android Scripting Environment (ASE):

import android droid = android.Android()
code = droid.scanBarcode() isbn = int(code[‘result’][‘SCAN_RESULT’])
url = “http://books.google.com?q=%d” % isbn
droid.startActivity(‘android.intent.action.VIEW’, url)

This is just a proof-of-concept but it show the power and ease of Google’s Python scripting tools when combined with Android.
