The iPhone Dev Team has made an interesting announcement today:
…the Linux 2.6 kernel has been ported to Apple’s iPhone platform, with support for the first and second generation iPhones as well as the first generation iPod touch. This is a rough first draft of the port, and many drivers are still missing, but it’s enough that a real alternative operating system is running on the iPhone.
This list seems staggering:
What we don’t have (yet!): - Write support for the NAND - Wireless networking - Touchscreen - Sound - Accelerometer - Baseband support
The group is aiming high with this project: rumor has it they want to port Android to the iPhone. Gulp.
