Samsung Omnia Retrofitted with Android

Not that you’re hurting for a Samsung device running Android these days, but some clever hackers have shoehorned Google (NSDQ: GOOG)’s mobile OS into an Omnia i900. Before you get too excited, this is still very much in developement, and experiencing all sorts of touch glitches and missing hardware functionality. Still, a boot-up is progress, and if you’re willing to do a little bit of testing, you can download the latest software build here.

If you’re a developer and this sounds interesting, you can win around $450 bucks for providing a fully-functioning Android installer for the Omnia. Likewise, if this is something that you’d like to see become reality, you can pitch into the prize pot at AndroidOmnia.com.
