Alot of you following googles I/O might have seen the new android 2.2 (aka froyo) and want to try it out or want to start to develop on it or just test apps for it so heres how to install a emulator on your desktop.
Warning: best if used on a more powerful computer (netbooks will strain)

First: Download the sdk.

1. Extract the folder and open the “android” folder that extracted.
2. There you’ll see a few folders open the “Tools” folder and click the “android” script to run the Emulator builder.
3. Now in the emulator builder go to the “Available Packages” tab.
4. There choose the packages that are selected in the picture and click “install selected”.
5. After they finish downloading and installing go to the “Virtual Devices” tab and press “new” (on the right side).
6. So the the input will be as follows in the picture: (size depends on how much memory you have but you can always add a SD Card) 
7. Now go back to “Virtual Devices” and click on your newly made emulator and click “Start” on the right side.

And now you have a basic emulator.

How to add applications:

1. your going to need to download Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (you’ll need to choose the IDE for Java Developers from the list).
2. Install the Android Development Toolkit in Eclipse.
3. Point the ADK to the directly where you’re keeping your Android SDK files (the same place where you extracted the SDK earlier, unless you moved it).
4. Import and run Android apps. (You’ll have to search the internet for Android apps you want to try. The file format is .apk, and many sites host them independently of the Android market.)

Update: for PC users make sure you have Java installed it doesn’t come preinstalled.

And thanks to Gizmodo for the top pic and the links for the downloads

So since the androids OS been open source all along (unlike the iPhoneOS) iPhone developers more known to the world as “hackers” have been wanting to put the Android OS onto the iPhone which a developer known as PlanetBeing has done as you can see here.
WAIT before you do press the link and check that out check out iHackintosh Blog here for a really good guide on how to install it to the phone.
This is very buggy so anything you do is at your own risk.

Hope to keep you updated on all the latest iPhone iPT updates right here @ iyoshiblog.

For those of you who are wondering why i have not been updating very often first of all school second reason (and this one you might care about) is that im working on a cool and easier to use homepage for the mobile site so for you iPhone and iPod (or even android) users yaaayyyy for those of you this doesn’t help get a mobile device so this can help you enjoy and thanks for the support.

I think finally apple is really feeling the pressure the new windows mobile 7 phone is anything that anyone would want in a phone the interface is very attractive with big icons and the Zune HD like interface but better and it has the live updates just like a the Palm OS or Android phone, So now for the applications and build of the homepage so on the top right you have your phone bottom right is text top left is people which is your all in one social networking and contact app that gives you status updates for people you have pinned there and on the bottom left is outlook for your email the browser is Internet explorer not as fast as mobile safari or expected soon opera but still good has multitouch and fm radio, now back to the homepage then under that you have your pictures and then under that is the me for all you info and logins for the social networking and for the gameplay is the XBOX live which will be amazing maybe soon we’ll all be playing Halo 3 on the go (probably in like a year or so) so for the multimedia its video and music together and they have there own store for music i think its in the player might be wrong this is amazing.

Would love one of these phones hopefully they’ll get to israel soon leave comments with questions im sure by the time you read this ill have more info hope this helped you.

This is a question I’m asked a lot so i break why the jailbreak is better into a few parts

1. you have things apple can add but for some reason doesn’t like Pogoplank, infinidock, ifile, winterboard, fontswap which are all software which apple could have installed in a firmware update but no they couldn’t (i sort of understand why apple doesn’t allow winterboard and fontswap I’m guessing not enough people to go over every theme to make sure it’s perfect)
2. but then you have things that apple will never add but not fully illegal like android lockscreen,protapper,proswitcher and those kind of things which are ideas taken from other OS’s which apple couldn’t add but again in cydia we can have them
3. these are if not fully illegal pretty close appcake,instalous,crackulous,appsync,instal0us(btw puyo was asked to stop producing product and stopped for the time being) i would say safari dl is illegal cause its downloading insted of streaming but do correct me on that if I’m wrong
