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.

The quest to get Android running on any hardware possible continues apace, with the gang over at the xda-developers forum working to fettle the OS for HTC hardware. They've managed it, too, albeit in a roundabout way; apparently the TyTN II is basically running Android as an emulation: an .EXE on top of the original Windows Mobile OS. That's a ...

Seeing Android running on atypical hardware isn't exactly new, but it's certainly interesting to see it playing nicely with a relatively mainstream device rather than an obscure PDA of some sort. eLinux.org has managed to get the open-source OS working with Nokia's OMAP2-based N810 Internet Tablet, and while their implementation (which also works on certain Sharp Zaurus models) is still ...

The tag line for the invitation reads, “Witness the next wave of HTC Innovation.” The event takes place in London, UK at 11:30am, Tuesday May 6th. I’ve got a spot reserved and will be live casting the event.

That ban on discussion ended late yesterday, and various key players in the proceedings have stepped up to give their version of events. As expected, Verizon and AT&T have been crowing ...

If there's one thing the FCC auction has shown us, it's that Google is pretty sneaky when it comes to getting their own way. They set their sights on open-access - which would mean devices running Android, even if not officially picked up by any of the carriers, would be able to access the new 700MHz networks set to roll ...
