Penguinistas hack Android onto real hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| Several actual hardware devices have been hacked to run Google's Java-based
| Android software stack, according to blogs and forum posts around the
| Internet. Although Google's preview release last fall included a software
| emulator based on Qemu, real hardware may provide a better target for
| application development.

Maybe there will be a generation when old devices are reborn with Linux in the

Android OS running on Sharp Zaurus PDA
,----[ Quote ]
| Eschewing Android on a software emulator, the team at eu.edge instead turned
| their attentions to another venerable Linux-based mobile device: Sharp’s
| Zaurus SL-C760. Only officially sold in Japan, the C760 has a 640 x 480 VGA
| screen and uses a 400MHz Intel XScale processor together with flash storage.
| By rebuilding the Android directory tree on a host PC to match that of the
| emulator, then mount that as an NFS share on the Zaurus, they were able to
| get the Google Phone platform to boot.
