Comment on Boot2Gecko demo & quick hack

Comments

Most definitely can research this on my own, but I'm curious if its possible to run this on iPhone hardware? i.e. replace the native OS?

I don't know that anyone's tried that yet. Boot2Gecko is focusing on making a real phone that people will really be able to buy, so working on a platform that requires "fighting the manufacturer" isn't a priority. But it's open source, so it's always possible that someone could take on what's likely a huge task! Currently B2G works on a couple of models, and requires Android ICS: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mozilla/Boot_to_Gecko/B2G_b...

Thanks for the info. Bit beyond me, attempting that. But definitely interested in trying it if someone pulls it together.
