About: I like gadgets, loads! I like talking about them, writing about them, using them, watching other people use them though binoculars... Some would say it was an unhealthy fascination, but then I'd be all like, "Shh...," and go back to doing gadget-related things. Hit me up on Xbox Live or PSN, I'm EJStyleS. I promise to give you a good match as well as talk about things that aren't gadgets. A bit.See Authors Posts (1329)

Just as we thought the plucky T-Mobile G1 was being left to languish in the ‘old phone’ drawer as the Motorola DROID grabs the world’s attention with Google Maps, a man named Akira Harada has given us all hope by porting the latest Android 2.0 update across to the original Google phone!

Whilst the update isn’t fully optimised, and the G1 does need to be “rooted” for this to work (instructions here), the video proof shows that it is a risk many will be willing to take for Android awesomeness.

Expect to see it on XDA Developers any time from now, and links to it from all over the internet about 3 minutes later.
