It’s not a new trick, but it is one that never gets old. This HTC Kaiser, perhaps better known as the AT&T Tilt, is shown here loading up Google’s mobile operating system, Android, thanks to some fancy codework in an app called HaRET, that apparently runs in Windows Mobile 6.5 (no ROM flashing required). Man, it looks weird navigating Android with a Stylus, though – very Twilight Zone. It’s not the most seamless switch, considering the camera still doesn’t work, but it’s still a solid proof of concept. For more info on getting Android shoehorned into the Kaiser and other HTC handsets, you can find instructions over here.
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.

You do realize that a resistive touchscreen works with finger or stylus, right?
He’s obviously using a stylus so that we can see what’s going on, much easier. A finger would cover everything up.
