The iPhone Linux hackers have announced that they have a rudimentary 2.6 kernel running on iPhone devices, and some iPod Touch devices as well. "This is a rough first draft of the port, and many drivers are still missing, but it's enough that a real alternative operating system is running on the iPhone." It looks like there is a lot of work to do for those who would like to help with this project.
