Running Google Android on top of Windows Mobile

Now it’s possible to run Google Android on top of Windows Mobile! But you have to keep in mind on issue about “Device Compatibility” This Google Android if you noticed, is running on my Xperia X1. I’ll post a link where you can find a copy of Google Android for your device. So How’s this possible? Thanks to fatsal in XDA for making this possible for X1’ers. Check fatsal thread in XDA here Here’s a video preview. But am not sure why Wi-Fi is not working.

As I promised. The links for your device.
