Android Running Within Windows Mobile

Written by AndroidGuys • Apr 11th, 2008 • Category: Developer News, Leaks, Rumors, and Hacks, Recent News

The guys over at XDA-Developers are at it again. This time, they’ve been able to install Android on an HTC TyTN II (Tilt) and get it to run. It’s actually installed inside of Windows Mobile so it does not require a system flash. This potentially opens up all kinds of doors. When Android hits the streets, we could see an application for installing a shell right on top of WinMo devices.

Although the videos show next to nothing, it’s nice to see more life behind Android. As far as the hardware in the Tilt goes, here are the major specs:

  • 400MHz processor (Qualcomm 7200)
  • 128MB RAM
  • 256MB Flash
  • Windows Mobile 6.1

Here’s a link to both videos showing it “in action”. A little grainy and a lot exciting!

    i think we will actually see this quite a bit. i bet we start seeing customized dex VMs running on limo, symbian, moblin, winmo, etc if it really starts taking off. and i bet google would be over joyed at it too since it would still run the same apps pushing their ads.
