The thing is, Apple makes really nice hardware. Really, really, nice hardware. There are some pretty good Android phones, but Apple nails it in a way that nobody else seems quite able to pull off.
I'd love to have an iphone 5 running Android! :]
- robbiep 14y agoHmm.. Are there hardware level-blocks on jail breaking an iPhone so far as to run android on it?
- wtracy 14y agoNo, surprisingly. And yes, the Android port is well underway: http://www.idroidproject.org/ http://www.idroidproject.org/
- karlshea 14y agoFrom the link it looks like it's pretty dead.
- krrrh 14y agoIt's a years old version of Andriod. I tried to install it on my old iPhone 3G a couple of months back and it barely worked and couldn't make phone calls. There hasn't been updates for years. It's an abandoned project.
- untog 14y agoAccording to the site, the project is pretty much dead. Shame, as I agree with the OP that Apple hardware is better than anything an Android manufacturer has turned out - or is interested in turning out. I can't remember the last time I saw an Android phone under 4.3" big.
- pooriaazimi 14y agoYep. It's not quite like that, but essentially that's true (I think it's possible to run Android on iPhone 3G S and older, but that was a long time ago and I don't think you could use it as a phone).
- myko 14y agoHave you looked at the Nexus 4? Feels a lot nicer and the screen seems a lot better than the iPhone 5 to me.
- superuser2 14y agoNot available on Verizon.
- snogglethorpe 14y agoNever seen the nexus 4; it's too huge and heavy for my tastes anyway (the iphone 5 is already pushing it)... Can't speak to the feel, but I do like the aluminum of the iphone 5 a lot.
