Someone went ahead and replaced Windows Mobile with Android 0.8 on a HTC Touch Diamond. Does that mean we’re going to see Android versions popping up on all sorts of other devices? At least it looks like other HTC devices will be able to run the open source OS. Below you can see the whole thing in action. I’d be curious to see how Android 1.0 will run on the same device… But in the mean time remember not to mess with your smartphone if you don’t know what you are doing. Some jailbreaking might be required which in turn, will ruin your warranty and you might get in trouble with your carrier.
Microsoft should expect some tough competition especially since various cell phone manufacturers have already announced they intend to release Android powered phones in 2009. And they’d better bring out their best in their next Windows Mobile 7.
Some more pictures, taken by AT&T Forum member Fokized, have been sent in to us by one of our readers. It shows the device side by side with the HTC G1, HTC’s first android phone, and while the Android device does not look as bad as many suggest, the Fuze certainly looks a bit more modern and polished.
The successor to a category-defining original… the HTC Touch 3G propels you even further into the touch experience, making voice and text communication, web browsing and media playing more pleasurable than ever before. The device as shown of certainly appears capable enough, and does pay homage to the very popular HTC Touch, which sold more than 2 million units. The Touch 3G however improves on the original Touch by adding a faster processor, more RAM, HSDPA and 3G, and adds HTC’s latest user interface innovation, TouchFlo 2D, which also brings a full version of Opera Mobile and a Youtube client.
