Linux Arrives in iPhone

Linux has come to iPhone. Thanks to the Dev Team, Linux has been ported to the iPhone and iPod touch. This feat of bringing everyone's favorite open-source OS to Apple's handhelds is a great acomplishment and hopefully it will only get better. The Apple iPhone is the no.1 selling American phone since Earlier this month, the almighty RAZR fell from the top spot as America's best selling handset. However, this Linux in iPhone (iBoot) is far form perfect; no touchscreen drivers, sound, or WiFi/cell radio support. But it's pointing towards the right direction nevertheless. Read about it at iphone-dev.org. They call it a phenomenal reverse engineering job.
