Last time we wrote about “Android on iPhone” bits was when hackers had successfully ported Android to an iPhone 2G. We also posted a complete step by step guide on how to install it on a jailbroken 2G.

Unlock for iPhone 3.1.3 on 05.12.01 baseband is here, but not in the ideal way you would have liked.

Voice Control is an exclusive feature of iPhone 3GS which enables its users to make phone calls and play music by using voice commands. Some folks over at this forum have released a Voice Control look-alike app for iPhone 3G and iPhone 2G which works and looks almost exactly as it is on iPhone 3GS.
The following step by step guide will help you downgrade your iPhone with firmware 3.1 to firmware 3.0.1. For those of you who upgraded to iPhone 3.1 may have found your device to be locked and un-jailbreakable as the tools for jailbreaking and unlocking are not out yet for iPhone OS 3.1.
