While official Google Android devices are still a good year from hitting the market (at least according to Google), the free availability of the Android SDK and the emulator has brought all those talented hackers out of the woodwork.
Aside from that Freescale reference-board that we spotted running Android OS a coupe months ago, there really isn’t much in the way of an in-the-wild device running Android. Well, a Hungarian coding-team that calls themselves Eu.Edge realized that the Android OS is capable of running on virtually any device with an ARMv5TE processor.
What followed was a slew of Sharp handhelds being tweaked to run the highly-anticipated Android OS. The Sharp Sl-C760, C3000M, SL-C3000, and SL-6000 have all gotten the Android-treatment. We should start seeing a lot more Android-based devices hitting the various internets very soon. Props to Eu.Edge!
