It was in mid-October 2008 that Android first appeared in the phone market, with the HTC G1. Obviously its specifications do not impress today, but for the time the 3.2-inch screen, 528 MHz processor and 192 MB of RAM was more than sufficient for Android 1.0 and other versions up to 1.6 in it ran aground. But this week the unit has gained new life with the latest version of Android.
For once, those responsible for installing the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich has discontinued the HTC G1 are archaic and XDA-Developers forum. The member was jcarrz1 who took the initiative this time and he warns that while the system runs a nut (like any other port unofficial and in early stages, by the way). The screen and certain unique features of ICS work, but WiFi, Bluetooth and screen rotation yet to be activated.
It is not the first time they've done this: forum members have already installed Android 3.0 on HTC G1 Honeycomb in February this year, although the phone does not exactly have a tablet screen. Still, imagine the inspiration to bring the two newer versions of the system to the mobile device has been the same.
