Hackintoshing iPhone OS on HTC Hero, and we have it on video

01 April, 2010
You've heard of hackintoshing - running Mac OS X on non-Apple rigs. Well, hold on to your hats folks, the good people over at XDA-Developers have just ported an iPhone OS ROM to run on an Android...

              Jef, 02 Apr 2010OOh I felt for it, I believed the whole story till I read 1... morecan you be any more ridiculous? Just because screen of iPhone is bigger doesn't mean that interface will be cropped, because they have the same number of pixels.

                  OOh I felt for it, I believed the whole story till I read 1 April fools !

                  I was not sure if this was true because 2 reasons !
                  1: The HTC Hero screen size is 3.2'' The iPhone is 3.5''So that means cropping to let it fit the screen !
                  2: Gsmarena is supporting telephone hacks by placing this on their frontpage ! I thought maybe they aren't that objective in the end !

                      Are there people who actually think April fools day is a good thing to celebrate? Let's see if we can get some more stupid stories up!

                        LOL that is two things, a theme or just pictures in the photo gallery. Go into an application or even better download something from the AppStore and prove this is real. Why would you put this up on April fools if you want us to think it's real?

                        There is always someone out pulling pranks like this

                            I think its fake. Its very easy do something like this in android. Can be a theme, video, a mod or something else. He dont show any program opening.

                                      GSMarena, you fully emphasized the painful truth: there's NO standardisation among smartphones... everybody wamts the cake and all they manage to do is spill it on the floor... Total chaos, if you ask me...
