iDroid Shows Off iPhone’s Portly Side

Through the power of Twitter, we’ve across a little something called the iDroid, a Linux distribution that uses iPhoneLinux. And while it’s cool, geeky, and a great project for all those lovely hackers out there, this port of the iPhone reminds me of the days we used to tap our plastic styluses on PDA handhelds (I dare you to type on that keyboard). But kudos to the fine folks who have the knowledge to revamp the iPhone in new, mysterious ways.
