We don’t know why you would want Android on your Pre considering how fantastic WebOS looks, but there are various people claiming that after a jailbreak (meaning, after hacking) the Pre you could possibly install Andriod and/or dual boot with WebOS. This is pretty cool, but I’ll probably just stick with WebOS… It looks rather yummy.
The crazy people are even claiming you could run Android inside WebOS much like you can run Windows inside a Mac, which would be interesting to say the least.
You can get more information here, if you’re really that interested.

uh,… Ever heaed of bootcamp?, or how about vmware? Anyways running android on the pre should be as feasable as osx86, if not, more because as far as I can see the pre and the g1 share the same architecture the only incompatibility could be the CDMA vs GSM.,

….or the only incompatibility would be the attempt to run one operating system completely virtualized inside another, whose underlying hardware does support native a native hypervizor. Go back to your Mac, fanboi and leave OS comments to ppl who run real operating systems (linux).
O.K. first of all, i run linux as my ONLY OS and hate macs and secondly, i know that running android INSIDE the pre will be impossibly slow do to the reason you listed. i was merely suggesting that it would be possible to go through a bootloader to the android OS because there would be no incompatibilities due to palm open-sourcing their drivers FYI. and also, who gave you the right to decide who gets to comment?
once again, My 2¢,
