Android 2.3 Gingerbread unofficially arrives on older Windows Mobile devices With Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system busy making its way to devices via unofficial builds, it seems that some older Windows Mobile devices might be getting a new lease of life. Word is out that the HTC Vogue (Touch), Touch Diamond, Touch Pro and Touch Pro2 have gotten Gingerbread ports. Of course, these unofficial builds aren’t perfect just yet, so you’ll have to expect bugs and missing features, but development does seem to be moving forward at a nice pace right now, especially since the core functions are there for certain builds. You can check out a video of a Touch Pro2 running Gingerbead after the jump.

Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.
