Hackers Give Bada The Boot, Finagle Android 2.2 Onto The Samsung Wave

You know, it really doesn’t matter how many dozens of devices there are built to run Android — bored hackers are still going to see if they can get it up and running on other devices. It’s pretty much a hacker pastime at this point, along the lines of forcing a microwave to run DOOM.

The latest non-Android device to succumb to the bot? The Samsung Wave, originally powered by Samsung’s own Bada platform. It’s not perfect yet by any means (as with any hand-hobbled Android build, there are driver issues to workaround) — but for any Wave owners itchin’ for some Android, it shows a ton of promise.
