The iPhone (or iPod Touch) is a 667MHz computer (albeit one that is only running at 412MHz) with 128MB of RAM and between 4 and 32 GB of flash. For software, it is running a pared down Mac OS X with its standard complement of a FreeBSD-based userland over a Darwin kernel.

Google may have pushed out recent firmware updates for the Google Android T-Mobile G1, but it seems they weren’t quite quick enough for one hacker.

Thanks to the efforts of one appropriately named Jay Freeman, it is now possible to get a version of the Debian Linux distro running on your T-Mobile G1 along side of Android.  You get the same Android phone functionality you’ve always had, but you can also install and run normal Linux compatible applications on the

Recent firmware updates may have aimed to shut down such shenanigans, but it looks they were a little too slow to stop Jay Freeman (a.k.a. Saurik) from going to town with his newly jailbroken G1 and installing Debian on the handset.
