Here’s a very cool project, and it’s home-grown in Canada!

David Wong of Richmond, BC has undertaken a project to port Android over to the iPhone interface, though at this point it’s in a very early alpha. His video shows that Android 1.6 runs fairly smoothly on the iPhone 2G; it can receive calls and SMS messages, play music and surf the web. There are a severe lack of mappable buttons available on the iPhone, though, so that may prove to be a problem for future usability.

The notion, however, of porting a later build of Android to a newer version of the iPhone is also extremely attractive: can anyone say Flash support?

Check out David’s blog and take a look at the Youtube video embedded above for more details.
