Ahh it looks like my day just got better.
I bought an iPhone because there weren't any decent Android handsets out (and there probably won't be any for at least a year).
It seems like the hackers heard my cries and managed to port Android over to the iPhone in the form of iDroid:
"Hackers over at Redmond Pie have managed to take the front screen (sadly no seven on offer for iPhone users) and place it on the iPhone, although it's more than just a skin.
You get an HTC-a-like clock, a weather widget from Yahoo just like on the Hero, and movable icons at the bottom, as well as a quick launch bar.
To add to the iDroid experience, the developers have also brought in the menu tab, meaning you can drag it across the screen to access the iPhone menu (although with the quick launch bar still intact).
And to take things even further, the dial pad has been re-jigged to use the Hero's larger buttons, so fat-fingered iPhone users can now rejoice.
Admittedly you have to have a jailbroken iPhone to use it, but for everyone secretly wishing their Apple device has the superior functionality of the Android interface, this theme could be the one for you."
Looks like i'm in for a long night......
