Planetbeing has released the binaries to install Android, on the iPhone 3G. It is not a perfect port, just yet, but it is fully functional, when it comes to connectivity, phone calls, and SMS. There is still trouble syning media, and the battery life is quite poor.

Here’s what planetbeing had to say on his blog:

I wrote up a how-to for PC World on how to put Android on the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 2G and it went up today. I wanted to be there to tweet about it when it went up, but I’ve been keeping really strange hours lately and I wasn’t awake for it when it went up.

But here are the binaries (for iPhone 3G, and for iPhone 2G), graciously hosted by PC World!

Please read the how-to that I wrote for PC World to on installing it. The steps are basically the same as before, except you can put the firmware in a directory on the iPhone OS data partition. This means that you don’t have to modify the ext2 partition as before.

One thing I didn’t mention is that you could perform the installation on OS X without a Linux VM if you recompile loadibec and oibc. Otherwise, the directions are the same.

So, are you brave enough to try it? If so, download the binaries for iPhone 3G, here, then follow these directions at PC World, explicitly. You’ll need your iPhone 3G to be jailbroken, and running iPhone OS 3.1.2. You’ll also need to be running 32-bit Linux on your computer. If you’re going ot try it, good luck! Let us know, how it goes.

I may work up the courage to try this on the weekend. Follow me on Twitter, to track my progress: @rorypiper
