Another exciting project for the jailbroken iDevice community, entitled Project iX, is currently in development. The direct sister project of the iDroid Project—which has ported the Android operating system over to iDevices up to the iPhone 3G and is currently expanding to newer iDevice models—is aiming to port an X11-based GNU/Linux distribution over to iDevices, adding even more possibilities when it comes to running alternative operating systems.

Recent reports are informing us that the Google Phone is no longer a rumor, and will in fact be released within a reasonable amount of time. The initial plan was to release the phone by the holiday season of this year, but we can now expect to see it early in 2010. While there has recently been an influx of Android phones making their way to the market, this one will actually be branded by Google, and I think it’ll be what we’ve been waiting for with Android.
