JUST A THOUGHT/GOOGLE ANDRIOD PLATFORM

If you want to try to install a completely different firmware/os please let us know if you ever figure it out.

It's highly, highly, HIGHLY unlikely.

technically i guess there is no reason why not. hell you could probably get openMoko running on it if you had the hardware spec's.

just a general heads up though, this is the internet most people dont know what they are talkingabout.


For instance, here http://forums.buzzaboutwireless.com/baw/board/message?board.id=Samsung_Instinct&thread.id=175 , somebody thinks you cant port a c program to java. "port" is defined as the process of converting a program from one language to another, some ports are easier than others.

Also Andorid is not a Application as some seem to think. for all intents and purpose's it IS the phone. it directly calls the hardware. it is directly called by the hardware. it is not a jar you can load. it IS the jvm(Dalvik, based on Apache Harmony--mostly a JVM but not certified by SUN so it is not allowed to call itself java, hence Dalvik). if the instinct is a hardware based JVM (they do exist-- recent calculator watches, toasters) replacing with android will be much harder.

It has been loaded onto netbooks though, and iPods will run linux. crazier things have happened.

The last time i through linux on was on my 2nd gen..havent tried to do it with my new classic. i think apple locked it down so its a little harder.

supposedly there are android emulators that will run on the instinct... thats on sprint though...
