>Apple's control over iPhones is bypass-able via jailbreaking (I've seen iPhones that dual boot android, which wouldn't be possible with a similar restriction.)

Is there really a way to install Android on iPhone 4/4S or the iPad?

Then why aren't a whole bunch of people doing it? Because no one really cares about dual booting a personal device and the associated headaches with keeping things in sync?



I suspect that differences in the way operating systems format and read persistent storage create some interesting technical challenges for a dual boot device.
