I saw this kick ass sticker on a car in the parking lot at work.

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.
Check the official blog for more info and updates
Update(2010-05-10)
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.

Android Mobile OS and The Motorola Droid
My company switch all of our phones from Verizon to AT&T and so we all got iPhones which was fine so we thought but as it turns out AT&T sucks. Terrible coverage. The iPhone on the other hand is a decent phone but is very limited. If it wasn’t for jailbreaking the phone and adding the Cyndia repository to it the phone would be a piece of shit.
About 2 months after we made the switch Verizon came out with the Motorola Driod and today, 6 months later, my co-worker decided to get one for his personal phone. I only got to play with it for about 5 minutes but all I have to say Android is awesome. I really cant wait to get a phone with this OS installed on it. Now the Droid hardware wasn’t anything to write home about but the OS is definitely better than the iPhone. Plus you actually have the freedom on installing anything you want on this and aren’t in the mercy of Apple.
Needless to say, I will have a phone runny Android hopefully sooner than later. Maybe the Nexus One? I hope so!
