If you bought an iPhone and regretted not having a chance to get onboard the fun bus otherwise known as Android LifeHacker have some good news for you ... you can dual-boot Android alongside iOS.

Take a look at the video below to find out how, and remember, if you mess up you invalidate warranties, etc.

In the video he said that it works best with the 3G. Shouldn't it work better with the 4G (1 GHz)

No phone running a 400mhz cpu can run Android good without lagg...
The iPhone 4 doesn't have openiboot ported yet and it'll take a long time before it gets it. Running Android OS on iPhone 4 wouldn't give anything, iOS is good enough. ;)

I'm not, once Android has been successfully ported the iPhone 4 would run it better considering your Galaxy only has an 800 mhz cpu ;)

As i said before, once openiBoot and Android kernel has been fully ported to iPhone4 it will. iPhone4 has better hardware than the Galaxy s. ;)

A jailbroken iOS beats the **** out of Android ;)
