We are all waiting anxiously for Android to drop on the scene. Until then, those great minds over at XDA-Devs have decided to give us a taste. Several HTC devices have been successful at running Android, and it seems more are on the way. Quite a few of the devices being tested are able to run somewhat reliably.

Some devices are working better than others. The NEON has been the most successful. It seems some were able to get everything working, even the radio. Others, were not so lucky. The Touch Cruise, pictured, was able to boot, and the touch screen even worked. Unfortunately, the radio, or buttons on the phone, would not work.

If you are ready to give this thing a shot, go here, to get the tools you will need. It is relatively no risk, you do not have to get rid of Windows Mobile, or mess with too much software. As always though, there is some risk associated with it, so be cautious. If you do take the plunge, please let us know how it goes.

    HTC announced last year that they would be the first to market with a Google Android device, but Samsung is also working hard to roll out their device.

    Google has made it simple for everyone who can make a phone, make one running android.
