May be you could help porting it as well. We will help testing if you provide the instructions.

I don't know anything about porting it. Neither ever used an android before.

I never claimed to know anything about porting which is why i'm not going to be dogging the progress of android on the n900 anytime soon

Here's hoping that this never happens. Apple have their own line of ARM processors, they developed the A4 processor for the iPad, right? Seems the only reason to acquire ARM would be to stifle competition.

I normally care little about the Apple fanbois, but if their money are used to screw things for the rest of us, that would really suck. Hopefully the EU wouldn't allow this to happen...

I mean, they're still out to make money; impending other platforms through bad management of ARM supplies would be bad for business.

Seriously, ysss?

How about jack up the prices for competitors? I for one refuse to pay the premium Apple charges its customers.

BTW, I apologize for inadvertently taking part in hijacking the thread.

Android on iPhone is awesome news. I want to see more.

@Sopwith: and risk accelerating the development of its competitors by running their licensees off? That's not how you do business..
I think Apple will definitely use this to leverage their positions, but not by driving their 'partners' off.

ps: I'm sorry for thread-jacking too. I've requested the sub-thread to be split into its own.

Jacking up the prices wouldn't help business, it would make their own holding too toxic to support their one endeavor... to make money.

If anything, they'll love to continue down the path of licensing ARM to whomever wishes to use it. It's not exactly as disastrous as people would think.

Android on the iPhone... seriously. How did the most locked down, most maligned platform on this site get the fastest port of Android I've seen outside of native Android phones?

I mean, seriously?
