Kind of off-topic, but since it's a discussion about iOS and Android, you know what I think would be the best thing ever that could happen to the iPhone? If Apple would officially support dual-booting Android. Think about it, Apple could claim making the best device (in terms of display quality, hardware, manufacturing), but also would be the only phone on the market that lets you use the 2 best phone OS's at the same time. It would be kind of an advanced feature, so it wouldn't interfere with the 'user experience' of the normal consumer. Basically full of win for everybody.
Of course I can expect this to happen when hell freezes over I guess.
- albertzeyer 16y agoHehe, yes. Reminds me of BootCamp. Before that, also nobody would have believed that Apple will ever allow that officially.
- OmarIsmail 16y agoThis is already pretty much possible. A jailbroken iPhone gives you the best of both worlds - and you don't even need to go through the hassle of dual booting. And it's actually ridiculously easy to get up and running. I would argue that a jailbroken iPhone is currently the best device available. You get Apple's slick UI and ease of use alongside Android's restriction-free environment. Interesting anecdote: I actually turned off multitasking with my jailbroken iPhone. Except for some very specific cases I think most people are going to find multitasking not a big deal at all.
- zyb09 16y agoWell I've seen Android booting on a 3GS but that's not very stable as of know, is it? If someone manages to get Froyo running flawless on an iPhone4 with all the hardware support (camera, dual-mic, gyro, compass etc.) I would probably get one (don't have much love for iOS).
- kristiandupont 16y agoCool, sure. But I cannot think up one scenario where I would use it.
