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?
But actually, the really talented ones would flock to iPhone cause it's almost like the Mt. Everest of consumer electronics

My first line was meant to be facetious. The main point I was trying to get at, is the prestige (be it warranted or not) that exudes from being able to make the iPhone your b1tch.
Like accomplishing the feat of scaling the world's tallest mountain or what have you.
The iPhone, being so closed yet widely hailed, makes it the perfect device for devs to show off what they can do. Thus it would attract the upper echelon of coders etc to try and conquer it.
@fatalsaint
fastest = no lag not quickest port

- it's gotta be jailbroken
- the OS is closed source
After that it's pretty bog-standard hardware, like current x86 Macs.
