No. Not yet. You can install Android 1.6 and 2.2 on an iPhone 2G, 3G, and iPod touch 1G.

Do you have a link to instructions per chance? I like the idea of the iPod Touch with Android.

It would be hard to use because Microsoft requires specific buttons on all Windows Phone 7 devices. You would probably have to program all the iPhone's hardware keys into Windows phone 7 commands.

Why would you want to? I know Android is available for iPhone.

Because the physical look of an iPhone is stunning and Windows Phone 7 is (supposedly, I don't know from experience) superior. a dual boot or even a triple boot with Android would be the perfect device.

The iPhone is very locked down. One big thing is that Windows Phone 7 isn't designed to run on the hardware, so someone would have to code the drivers for it. It was done for Android, but that's only on the older devices. It hasn't even come to the 2nd gen iPod Touch yet (which has similar hardware to the 3g). Since Android is open source, it's probably easier to create drivers for it (I say probably since I've never tried creating any type of driver or anything similar). If there is a huge demand for Windows Phone 7 on the iPhone, there might be more of an effort made, but so far there isn't much demand for it, so there isn't a reason anyone would really try.
