Android 2.3 Gingerbread crammed into the iPhone 3G

There are many devices out there eagerly waiting to get Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread update, but Apple’s iPhone 3G most likely isn’t the device that you’d expect to get the update. Of course, the update wasn’t given Google’s or Apple’s blessings but some hackers out there used the OpeniBoot software to get the latest version of Android on the phone. The use of OpeniBoot means that users can choose to boot between iOS or Android when they want to. You can check out a video of it in action after the jump and while it’s a little jerky, at least it shows that you can cram Android 2.3 Gingerbread into the iPhone if you really want to.
