HTC TyTN II can run Android

Few days ago we posted a screenshot of Nokia N810 Internet Tablet running Google’s Android OS. No big deal, even before Android, the N810 used Linux as an operating system. And now, the folks of XDA-Dev community managed to make Google’s OS singing along HTC TyTN II. Best of all, Android runs as an .EXE on top of the Windows Mobile shell, making us think we could see Google’s OS hitting every major smartphone platform at some point. Not that Google will try to do that, hackers will.

Hmm. If it’s possible to make Android run as a .EXE on Windows Mobile, maybe someone could port it to .SIS file and bring it to Symbian world. Just an idea, I’ve no clue whether that’s possible or not…
