As if running Android OS on an iPhone wasn’t enough, the folks who created iOpen based Bootlace for running Android on an iPhone 3G are now hard at work on being able to run Android on the iPhone 4 and iPad. That’s right, people, Apple’s tablet may soon be used with Android OS.

For those who are unfamiliar, OpeniBoot is a open source implementation of iBoot bootloader for Apple iOS devices. It allows booting of Linux kernels on the device. Currently, only iPhone 3G, 2G and the 1st-gen iPod touch are able to run Android via this method.

Any Apple chauvinists out there intrigued? Check out a tutorial on how to install Android OS on your iPhone 2G or 3G.
