Are you tired of hearing about Android versus iPhone? All the forums and fanboys always bickering about which is the better smartphone, which has the best features, etc, etc, etc. I say, let there be peace. You can have both if you want. How? Install Android Gingerbread on an iPhone 3G, that’s how. In the video sen below, we have proof that someone hacked an iPhone3G and installed Android 2.3 on it. How cool is that?! I think it’s safe to say that the iPhones are always trendsetters when it comes to packing the new technology inside, so why not load the best software on it too.

The Android Market has grown leaps and bounds in 2010, delivering many high quality apps that no Android phone should be without. As we usher in 2011 this New Year's Day, here is a recap of the 5 top Android apps to have. Now this is by no way a definitive list and we had to cut it down from close to 30 choices to make it concise. However if you feel a certain app is more justified to be here than the 5 below, do shoot us an email and tell us why.

By Michael Heller As I wrote before, I find it hard to believe that Google ever expected or planned for the Nexus One to be a commercial success. The Nexus One was the pinnacle of a phone designed and distributed for the tech elite, early adopters and other geeks. No one else would be willing to brave buying a phone sight unseen from a web store. No one else would be likely to do the research needed to understand the benefits of the stock Android experience. No one else would be likely to look past the fairly utilitarian UI after seeing the far prettier options like the Sense UI from HTC. Now, Google is distributing the Nexus S to the masses via Best Buy and Carphone Warehouse, but, as far as I see, it’s still a geek-only device.

Developers supporting the various mobile operating systems on the market are crucial to their success. For instance, without developers, Apple’s App Store would never have gotten as popular as it is today as there would be no Doodle Jump and certainly no Angry Birds. Luckily, there are a whole slew of dedicated developers producing software for iOS and Google’s Android is no different.

Android 2.3 source code goes up for developers As promised with the launch of the Nexus S, Google's Open Source Project on Friday posted the source code for Android 2.3. The move both lets developers modify the base OS but also gives the go-ahead to companies making devices without the Google blessing needed for Android Market or certain official apps.

Google next version of its Android platform -- Honeycomb 3.0, not Gingerbread 2.3 (that's so last week ) -- will feature a Google-built augmented reality application that outshines anything on the market today, according to Arab-language Android blog Ardroid. Citing a source who claims to have used the upcoming operating system, which was first publicly shown off by Android founder Andy Rubin on an unannounced Motorola tablet at last week's D: Dive Into Mobile conference, the site claims that the alleged app will make Layar (pictured above) and friends look "weak and pathetic" in comparison.

Developers on XDA have apparently managed to get Android 2.3 Gingerbread booting on an HTC HD2, just a day after the OS was launched and the SDK released. Several members had independently been working on a port since user spbeeking uploaded a copy of the Gingerbread system.img file extracted from the SDK, but it was DarkStone1337 who provided the final piece of the puzzle in the form of a modified inti.rc file. However, since DarkStone is unable to release any actual builds due to time constraints, he is leaving further development up to the rest of the community --meaning that no simplified package yet exists for end users to... Gingerbread Ported to HTC HD2 Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.5

If you fly, you likely know how tough it can be in certain airports to find anywhere to charge your phone and computer. It's 2010, people. It's a little ridiculous. The good news: Delta just announced that it's installing charging stations at 19 airports, including seven domestic hubs. There will be two stations at each gate, with six 110-volt outlets and two USB ports at each station. Airports to be included: Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Memphis, Minneapolic/St. Paul, JFK, Salt Lake City, Boston, Columbus, Hartford, Indianapolic, LAX, Nashville, Norfolk, Omaha, Pittsburg, Portland, Seattle and St. Louis. That's all well and good. But what really made our cold hearts warm up a little was the picture you see above, with the Google Nexus One and the Apple iPad charging together. What a wonderful world. (And we bet the guy on the left was enjoying a nice Flash game. [Delta] Delta installing gateside charging pods where iPads, Nexus Ones live together | Android Central...

Nexus S – The new Android phone from Google Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.5

HTC, Motorola, Acer and Asus are set to show off Android 3.0 Gingerbread tablets at the Las Vegas CES trade show in January next year, according to a report from Taiwanese website Digitimes. According to the source, we should also see a Gingerbread version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab in the new year. Google has just notified partners that Android 3.0 will soon be completed, with related engineer samples showing up in December. Although the Galaxy Tab and a plethora of other slates will reach us in November with Android 2.1 and 2.2, Android 3.0 is already being earmarked as the version that could really show what these devices are capable of. LG has already killed off plans to make a Froyo tablet in favour of releasing one with Gingerbread, while we are now fully expecting Motorola to come out with some sort of Droid Terminator super phone early next year. We had a quick taste of what Gingerbread could offer us yesterday -- a graphical overhaul, hardware acceleration and video cha...

It seems like a long time since Apple's iPad propelled tablets headfirst into the mainstream consciousness. In fact, it was released in the UK only five months ago. Since then, we've been bracing ourselves for the inevitable tsunami of rival tablets from other manufacturers. The first offering to appear on the crest of that mighty wave is the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which runs version 2.2 of Google's Android operating system. The Tab will be released on 1 November. Pricing for the Tab, which will come in 16GB and 32GB versions, is far from certain, but Carphone Warehouse is offering a model with unspecified memory for £530 unlocked and SIM-free, or £500 on a contract with TalkMobile, as part of which you'll pay £10 per month for 1GB of data on a 30-day rolling contract. By way of comparison, the 16GB iPad with 3G and Wi-Fi costs £530. Can the Tab duff the iPad up good and proper? Let's find out. Lucky number seven Measuring 120 by 191 by 12mm, Samsung's 7-inch t...
