Before you get excited: this isn’t exactly what it looks like. Rather than being the amazing hack of getting Google’s open-source cellphone platform Android running on an iPod Touch, it’s actually a slideshow to give an impression of how the OS might look on a multi-touch device. Touch owner cast42 sliced out some screenshots of Android and sync’d them to his PMP; no, it may not make calls or, well, do anything, but it gives a fair idea of how the platform could look on a device of a similar form-factor to the iPhone.

Comparing Apple UI to Android, it has to be said that Cupertino’s efforts look slicker; Android, at least in these preliminary images, is a little too Sidekick for my liking. Still, who’d care to place money on the idea that hackers will be doing their utmost to get Google’s software running on Apple hardware asap?

So, if you have questions, something to share, code you need looked over or tested for the Android platform, or just want to be a part of a community that’s bound to grow quite rapidly, feel free to check out AndroidCommunity.com.
