I like your way of thinking :)  I actually tried the install yesterday, ran into problems, ran out of time, and walked away.  My iPhone 2G's current functionality and data were all left intact.  If I could dual-boot a 3GS, I'd be very very happy.

So far it's only for iPhone 2G, but I expect it'll be ported forward soon enough.  The version of Android working now is 1.6, but it's expected that newer versions will be a simple drop-in upgrade.  Also, not quite full functionality yet.  Calling works, as does wifi, web browsing, and even multi-touch, but apparently there are big chunks missing.  Not being a current Android user, I couldn't tell you what they are.
