VMware is teaming with LG to sell Android smartphones that are virtualized, allowing a single phone to run two operating systems, one for business use and one for personal use.

The companies believe virtualization can provide separation between work and personal applications and data, solving many of the smartphone management problems caused by end users who want to connect personal phones to work systems.

The iPhone has iPhodroid (http://www.iphodroid.com/) to run this Android OS through iBoot (open boot).

That may be dual boot, but we're talking virtualization here. You're actually running BOTH OSes at once like you would on a regular PC with Virtual PC, VirtualBox, etc.

And it's also OFFICIAL support; comes directly from the companies. Shows that more people(not just hobbyists, but companies too) are exploiting the potential of Android, and they aren't restricted by a bunch of legalese saying what they can or can't do with it :eusa_clap...

WinMo was the ship, now Android has taken over the mobile world and continues to dominate. There ain't nothing you can't do with that OS. iPhone/BB/Nokia? please...
