DAVID WANG:Hacker attacks iPhone with the DROID

Hacker and programmer David Wang has finally done it. He has breached the closed source cod on Apple's iPhone. Wang has successfully booted the iphone with Google's Android.

This is certainly quite an exploit: booting Google's Androids OS on Apple's iPhone

Wang, full fledged member of the a unit labeled "The iPhone Development Team," that is committed to hacking iPhones. In the last few days he posted a video demonstrating the Google Android on an iPhone.

The video shows the booting process complete with the Tux Linux mascot. As well as it reveals Wang using the Google Droid for surfing the internet, receiving a text message, answering a phone call and playing a song. Wang has the iPhone set up with a dual-boot configuration. You can witness this as Wang starts the video with the iPhone operating on its OS.

David Wang voluntarily admits that his hack is not production-quality at this time. He claims that the hack is still in its Alpha phase but he claims that everything operates perfectly in terms of functionality.

David Wang's Droid hack on the iPhone is quite a technological triumph Some say it will not transform the industry nor the behavior of mainstream consumers. The one notable thing Wang's hack does illustrate is that the iPhone may be hacked even with its hold on the source code.

David Wang remarks that he has been working on his hack since 2008. The video he uses to reveal his triumphant hack is done with a first-generation iPhone. In spite of this, newer iPhones are also prone to be breached by this patch.

Wang claims that it should be easy to port forward to the iPhone 3G. He readily admits that the 3GS will take additional effort however. Wang's vision is to make the Google Droid a viable option or supplement for the iPhone and perhaps we can finally integrate Flash.
