Articles of interest
Richard Stallman has written a
lengthy article for The Guardian on the freedom - or lack thereof - of
Android. " Putting these points together, we can tolerate non-free
phone network firmware provided new versions of it won't be loaded, it
can't take control of the main computer, and it can only communicate when
and as the free operating system chooses to let it communicate. In other
words, it has to be equivalent to circuitry, and that circuitry must not be
malicious. There is no obstacle to building an Android phone which has
these characteristics, but we don't know of any."

Developers from the iDroid Project announced
at the MyGreatFest conference that they are working on porting Android
to iOS devices. " Back in 2008, the project initially began under the name of the "iPhone Linux Project." This project aimed to boot a Linux kernel, and by the end of 2008, this aim had been achieved. The year after, the hacker behind the iPhone Linux Project surprised everybody by presenting a working first-generation iPhone running Android OS: The iDroid Project was born."
