Recently had to run PhpDocumentor on a project only to be faced with broken documentation after bringing all class files into compliance with proper comments.

Running Android on an iPhone 3G
Ran across this video from the iDroid team @ linuxoniphone.blogspot.com that demonstrates an iPhone 3G dual-booting iOS and Android.
