Android is becoming more usable on Windows Mobile devices thanks to the hard work of the Android and Windows Mobile communities. You can now run Android 1.6 or 2.0.1 on an HTC Touch Pro for example. Since Android on Windows Mobile is now quite stable some talented developers found a way to create a dual boot application for Windows Mobile.!

Once again we have to thank someone from XDA Developers: Yozgatg who released this dual boot application called Gen.Y DualBOOT.

You can follow the XDA thread here:
