Tired of your WinMo OS or want to give Android a try? Pocketnow has a nice video of a simple linuxbootloader that allows you to choose between Android or WinMo as a bootup option on your Windows Mobile phone. I don’t know what phones this is compatible with, but I’m gonna assume you can use any phone that has an Android Rom ported for it, or maybe just try out a vanilla Android Rom on your device.
Ultimately I hope to see a working Android Rom for the HTC HD2. The US model will be available in a month or so and has the updated US specs to run the next version of Window Mobile. That could be a deal sealer for me to have the new 7 option or Android. More info and instructions at Pocketnow and XDA. As always, try at your own risk. In this case, its made real easy for you. Let us know if you successfully dualboot on your Window Phone.
Gear Diary was founded on September 30, 2006, with the goal to create a website that would not easily be labeled. Everyone who is part of Gear Diary is a professional who uses technology in their work and daily lives. On this site, we share our enthusiasm while exploring the gear we use — the
equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable.
Our hope is that Gear Diary visitors find this site to be a welcoming, friendly, and accessible place to learn about and discuss interesting topics — and not only those that are tech-related! Gear Diary is a place to discover and explore all kinds of new gear, including smartphones, computers, kitchen gadgets, Toys, EDC, camping gear, or even your
next new car! You can follow us on Twitter @GearDiarySite.
