Hacker Planetbeing has apparently ported the Android to the iPhone. The Android OS is, in this video, apparently running successfully on the Apple phone. Planetbeing has offered the Android-to-iPhone " pre-built images and sources " as a torrent download For the time being, it looks like the porting only works on first-generation iPhones. Sponsor "It should be pretty simple to port forward to the iPhone 3G," says Planetbeing. "The 3GS will take more work. Hopefully with all this groundwork laid out, we can make Android a real alternative or supplement for iPhone users." As Alexander Vaughn points out on AppAdvice , "Just like you can do Bootcamp on your Mac to access PC apps, you'll be able to go on Android to try all these apps that don't exist, or were not allowed on the iPhone."

The rest is here:

Flash mobs are "spontaneous" gatherings that are organized by emails and text messages. Everyone from celebrities to schools have created them. To keep it real, our Top 10 YouTube list is based only on non-commercial events. From a giant flash mob shootout in a shopping center in Poland, to a ninja mob at U.C. Berkeley, to a lightsaber mob in Bristol, these events are a global phenomenon. In Australia and New York City - even a record 3,000 people all freezing in place in Paris - these mobs demonstrate how new ideas for email- and text message-based event organizing have only just begun.

YouTube has come to define the era of online video, so let's take a look at their most popular videos of all time. We first did this list in August 2007 , at which point Evolution of Dance by comedian Judson Laipply was number 1 with nearly 56 million views. The next update was September 2008 , when Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend pop music video was number 1 with 103 million page views (although commenters argued that it may have gamed the system). In January 2010, Charlie bit my finger - again ! was number 1, with 148 million views. Our latest update shows that Lady Gaga has made a big impact in 2010 on YouTube, with 2 new entries into the top 10 - including the number 1 video of all time! Perhaps a sign of the times that she shunted Susan Boyle out of the top 10. Also, for the first time, all 10 videos in this list have over 100 million views . Here is the top 10, as at April 2010: Sponsor 1. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance ; 183,497,434 views 2. Charlie bit my finger - again ! ; 180,222,573 views 3. Evolution of Dance ; 141,529,210 views 4.

Jeff Dunham - Achmed the Dead Terrorist ; 110,476,854 views 8. Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A. - Official Music Video ; 109,370,701 views Embedding disabled by YouTube. 9. Lady Gaga - Just Dance ft. Colby O'Donis ; 106,943,734 views 10. Lo que tú Quieras Oír ; 100,431,596 views Discuss

Have you seen the video that's a collection of Hollywood's most dramatic dead cellphone moments? From the very first cell phone TV commercial, to a T-Mobile publicity stunt, to children in Africa who mine the Coltan we use in our mobile devices, here's our collection of the top videos about mobile. Of these, far and away the most popular was a T-Mobile publicity stunt that auditioned 10,000 dancers and then filled up a Liverpool England street train station with 400 of them. The advert entitled "Dance" was part of T-Mobile's Life for Sharing campaign. Do you have a favorite video that makes mention of mobile? Let us know in the comments below.

For websites that find themselves stuck in the middle of the ongoing feud between Apple and Adobe, there might be another way out of the mess - Ripcode . According to the company, its latest product is a server-side solution for websites that want to get their Flash-based content onto Apple's iPad and iPhone. Sponsor The somewhat futuristic sounding "TransAct Transcoder V6 can intercept Adobe Flash-based file or live video" and translate the video into a format compatible with both the iPhone and the iPad. As the company points out in its blog post , Flash is used in a number of settings, especially live streaming of news and sports and other video content. And while HTML5 is one solution, it is not yet widely adopted. The company's transcoding service offers an immediate and seamless solution. The transcoder is a completely server-side solution, meaning it does not have to be installed by users or pass by Apple's scrutiny to get into the app store. Instead, it runs on the website server and detects the requesting platform and transcodes the video as needed. "The 'Flash on iPad' dilemma is really just the latest in a long line of speed bumps on the road towards 'any-content, any-time, any-place, any-device' that we all desire. Fortunately, our technology removes this barrier in a way that is attractive to content hosters, a key device manufacturer, a key video player provider, and the end user alike," RipCode CEO Brendon Mills says in the company's blog. The best part of this solution, as far as it relates to both Apple and Adobe, is that it has nothing to do with either. And rather than having to swap out services and modify your whole website, a simple server-side install handles the issue entirely, outputting the appropriate video format for whatever the device. The service supports a number of formats and will be demonstrated this week at the NAB 2010 in Las Vegas. Discuss
