Google told us that we wouldn't see any Androiddevices until the end of the year, but a funny thing happens when youput up the entire SDK and an emulator for a platform -- all them crazyhackers start hacking. Apparently Android was natively booted on aFreescale-based dev board called the Armadillo 500 back in November,but the floodgates were really opened when a Hungarian group calledEu.Edge discovered that basically any device with an ARMv5TE chip couldrun Google's baby. Armed (heh!) with that information, tinkerers aroundthe world have gotten a variety of Sharp devices running Android: theSL-C760, C3000M, SL-C3000 series, and the SL-6000 have all beenconfirmed running the OS. Hopefully that means we'll be seeing a lotmore unofficial Android devices soon -- check a couple videos after thebreak.0 p6 h+ n& D* u7 `+ X
