When consumers are faced with limited choices, taking matters into their own hands is often their response. In regards to Android, while the line up for the second half of the year looks promising, that doesn’t do anyone much good right now who have a few handsets to choose from with hardware that is ok at best. Enter hackersville. The Samsung Omnia is pretty sweet phone albeit one big problem — it runs Windows Mobile. Thankfully there world isn’t going though a shortage of determined, skilled hackers. Those skilled hackers have focused their efforts on the latest Android project. So, who wants to see Android running on a Samsung Omnia, giving the phone a new lease on life? While the Android packin’ Omnia barely works, (as in it starts up and gives you a half-assed smile), it is a precursor and promise of things to come. Now that the world has seen the goods, I’m sure more developers and hackers will be intrigued enough to help out so that the “andromnia” can darn near take the crown of coolest Android device. Makes you all fuzzy inside, doesn’t it?
