Android On Windows Mobile Phone - Anyone tried it?
I've got a HTC Touch HD running Windows Mobile 6.1, haven't bothered to flash it with a new ROM so far as I'm worried about trashing it. Due an upgrade sometime next year so make start messing around more with it then.
I now see on the XDA-Developers site that there is a port of Android for it, better still it seems like you just install on an SD card, reboot from Windows and away you go, no flashing.
Sounds like it is still pretty flaky, wondered if anyone had tried it and if so was it worth the effort?

You have to run the application which hard reboots it into a unix looking environment and then it boots up (and turning it off will boot back to the standard windows environment) so it's worth having to be able to play around with, but not for a replacement OS.

I did it a few months ago on exactly the same phone as you have (and the process was easy). It was more proof of concept than anything really as processes crashed quite often, the battery life was about 2 hours in total and some things didn't work at all (I think it was the camera if I remember correctly).
