Want to give Google Android a try, but don't feel like buying a T-Mobile G1? LiveAndroid lets you download a LiveCD disc image of the Google Android operating system. Just burn the image to a disc, stick it in a CD-ROM drive, and reboot your computer and you can check out Android without installing it or affecting any files on your PC.
You can also use the disc image in a virtualization application like VirtualBox or Microsoft Virtual PC if you want to try the operating system without even rebooting your computer.

Wow!! I haven't even downloaded this yet but had to share it with you guys

About to download and make a virtual os of it.

Sorry for a noob question...

But i thought android is only for ARM processors or mobile phones to be precise ?

Also seems no mouse support yet, plus only arrow keys work.

^ Was expected.. It isn't supposed to run on x86 platforms

PiXeLpUsHeR · #13 (**permalink**) 9 Jul 09, 08:38 PM

While not supposed to run on x86, I would imagine it won't be too hard to port over.. kind of like a linux Livecd since it is Linux based. I actually got very busy last night and haven't finished installing it yet.

BTW, its a community (user) project and not from google itself, right? I know its hosted on code.google.com site but that does not mean its official, anyone can host there... and for sure Android can officially build/work on ARM and x86 as well if they want to enter the netbook market...

^^ Yes , its not from google , and porting to many other platforms has already started , some people at xda-developers.com were able to run it on some Marvell and Qualcomm processors
