Motorola's Milestone handset failed to ignite the same passion in Britain as its twin, the Droid, did in the United States. It's not clear why, but it's likely that some combination of the device's slow performance, chunky keyboard, rubbish camera and questionably-useful MotoBlur UI will have put at least some people off.

So enter the Motorola XT720, which for all intents and purposes is the Milestone 2. The company seems to have learnt a lot from the first device, and all three of the aforementioned pain points have been addressed. The processor has been bumped up to 720MHz, the keyboard has gone entirely, the camera is now 8-megapixel and Motoblur has been granted a few updates in functionality.

But that's not all. There's a redesign of the device itself, which now resembles a digital camera more than a traditional phone handset. There's a raised section featuring a shutter button and media key on the lower right-hand side, but unfortunately it's all too easy to hit by accident with your palm when you're entering text one-handed.

Last month, we had reported that planetbeing from the iPhone Dev Team had successfully ported the Android OS to iPhone 3G.

An Italian team of hackers have recently revealed that they have been able to install Android 2.2 dubbed Froyo, the latest version of Android OS on iPhone 3G.
