There has also been preliminary work on booting Android on other Windows Mobile devices, including the Sony Xperia X1.

If you're a developer, you should read the Get Involved page to learn how you can help with the port!

[edit] Running Android

To learn how to install and run Android on your device, please visit the Installing Android page. If you already know how to install Android, skip straight to the Latest Builds page.

Android on HTC is available in two flavors: a ROM that is flashed to your device which overwrites Windows Mobile, or an application stored on your SD card that runs within Windows Mobile and reboots your device into Android without altering your device at all.

To check on the current status of the Android port, please visit the Port Status page or have a look at the XDA-Developers Wiki page.

[edit] What is Android?

Android is Google’s open source mobile phone operating system that runs on devices like the T-Mobile G1, Motorola Droid, and Google Nexus One. Because of the nature of open-source, it is possible to port Android to entirely new devices without the approval or assistance of official parties. As such, there is an effort to port Android to a variety of Windows Mobile smartphones.

[edit] Who is HTC?

HTC is one of the world’s largest smartphone manufacturers, originally producing primarily Windows Mobile phones, although they have recently changed their focus to Android devices. They manufacture the Google Nexus One in addition to many other devices.
