Come on, get a grip... if you want iOS buy an iphone or itouch or even iPad, if windows mobile, you should get another htc. Its like I'm gonna ask can I get android on my Nokia 3310? ...
Please don't give such an appropriate question.

Yes but I think he asks because its possible the other way. Android OS has been ported to run on the iPhone afaik. Something many also thought was impossible.....

I bought a legend because of it's specs, screen, finish (aluminium casing),it cost way less than an iPhone, and finally because of Sense. The only reason i wanted to see would it work is because im sick of Google waiting to open the Paid market in Ireland (i know this is the case in alot of other contries aswell)

The HTC Legend has simular specs to the iPhone and you cant put the compare the Nokia 3310 in any way to the HTC Legend. As s7yler pointed out it the iPhone has been ported to Android. Im sorry if i took 2 minutes of your time but i was just curious if it would work, or if we could see it in the future! Hell i haven't even rooted my Legend yet! So thanks for your reaction, as i said i was just curious.

true even android can be run on some of the WM devices, because of the boot process, and phone spec. But iOS has completely different boot system/process though its not possible to run it on other devices (for now) , besides have you seen iOS run on any other devices then Apple's ? don't thinks so mate..
Also one big thing to remember...
The only reson android runs on ipod/iphone is because android is open source... and that is more easy to handle and port (Not that i am saying it was easy for them to port Android to the i devices as apple hardware is also keep as close source) then a closed source system as iOS....
It will be the same as porting Windows 7 to ARM or PowerPC cpu.... not something you can do without having access to the source code of windows...
Hmm i have run MAC OS on a pc so it is possible tbh

to be nice i wont say how many ways that statement is wrong...
but most of osx IS open source... NONE of iOS is open source...
And the only reson it is possibel to run osx on a pc is because the basic part of osx is open source and that is the kernel so it can be modded and rebuild to work on diffrent cpu's....
I know there are bin patched versions of the mach_kernel but they are never as good as the one that they make when apple release the source and that normal happens 14 days after the os update...
(to end this with a statement why i can say all this i can tell you i have been a active osx86 user the last 5 years, been really involved in the help channels and know a lot of the devs)

There is a solution to paid market not available. When I had android on my Diamond I used it for a while and the paid application were still unavailable in canada at this time so I made a little search on this and I found something.
There is an application that can make the market think you are from UK or US and then you have acces to all the paid application. You still need to pay but you have acces to buy them at least.
I don't remember the name but it was something like "market enabler". Sorry I erased all android data of my phone cause there is no more development in this direction and GPS, bluetooth and camera were still missing. I can't even think of living without google maps with AGPS and speeking while driving is illegal over here unless using a bluetooth headset or an hands free system.
Good luck with that.

just install market enabler app and u can use paid market, i live in Sweden and we don't have paid market enabled here yet, but with the magic of a rooted Legend and market enabler i bought an app yesterday and have installed and it's working 100%
As far as it comes to your question about if it's possible to run ios4: i think it's not nice of people to make fun of you for just asking, technics-geeks as we all are many of us just want to know IF it's possible.. people shouldn't be flamed just for asking.
i agree with the last post as well. and as i was seeking some answers i was disapointed when i saw some ppl who are making fun of the first post and playing smart as they aperently dont know **** about the question and dont even care about sharing knowlage (i dought they have any). instead all they do is sit there and ***** about being smart and thats so childish.
since im a new to this forums this gives me a perspective on what cind of ppl are hanging out here...and that usualy not a good sign to see

Hi - I just purchased a HD7, have a Android phone (HD2) and Blackberry Bold, but wanted to know if there is anything working for wifi calling.
I know this does not have UMA, but wifi calling like Skype or Google Voice?
The marketplace in Windows 7 I don't like because I don't think I see a sort feature by like 'free' vs 'paid' , etc.
I don't see Skype, see some 3rd party Google Voice stuff with bad reviews and don't see Google Maps.
The TeleNav on the phone from T-mobile requires a monthly subscription which i don't want.
Anyone know apps/etc. that are out there that would suit what I'm looking for here.
Thanks
the best free app I've found for navigation is "xMaps". It's pretty clunky and seems to lack turn-by-turn navigation but at least it works as a basic map. There might be something better availble as far as paid apps go, but I never venture into the paid apps section becase I'm cheap
I hope the app selection gets better with time and that T-Mobile finally rolls out that damned NoDo update!
EDIT: Also, there is a way to sort the list between Free and Paid apps. When you've selected the category of apps you want and the list has been populated, swipe the screen to the left 3 times until you reach the "Free" section.
I've just got an Hd7, 16gb. At first i thought this looks good but is absolute rubbish after my HTC touch pro 2-- can't sync with my PC, can't have TomTom, can't have Google Maps, can't have Opera or Skyfire or Firefox, can't have BBC iPlayer, can't have PDF reader or Flashplayer. What's wrong with these people at Microsoft, don't they know how phones are used!???. BUT is IS a very good phone and very nice to use, has a great screen and plays videos well. I've found you can sync it rather awkwardly via windows live and skydrive. Why do they want to make life more difficult?
I believe the features you mention that are lacking are to come in future updates.
Remember... as far as OS goes, WP7 is just a baby learning to walk. I had to wait for flash on my Galaxy S from the froyo update and iPhone will NEVER have it so as far as those features go... hold your horses. Lol...
I love my android and I am really liking my hd7 as well for different reasons. Once the updates start to come you will be pleasently surprised I believe.
PS... you can sync the phone via PC through Zune. Download the software and follow the instructions...

Not if your on a Mac like me. Good thing I also own a PC but this HD7 still sucks ass! Good thing I still own all my Android phones tho. The only time this phone comes out my pocket now is if I wanna watch NetFlix. Other than that my SIM card will be in one of my Android phones getting me thru the day.
you can also sync on a mac look on mac appstore for Windows Phone 7 Connector.

Well... I hope that once the updates start rolling out that u will have a better experience . I kept my Galaxy S for the sake of being able to customize it and stuff and I got the hd7 for its simplicity and class. I think that this will be one of thebest devices ever once ms starts to roll out the updates and if the hd2 is any indication... I think this will be the next HTC superphone once the devs start working their magic.

Thanks for that. I can live without some of the previous stuff but I need TomTom also I need a program like WMwifirouter for this OS. I've been using my TP2 connecting my laptop wirelessly to the Net when away for over a year now and it's a great little program. Anyone know a way with an HD7 to use it as a modem?

90% of the things you list are third party applications. It isn't that WP7 CAN'T have them, it's just that at less than 6 months old, it DOESN'T have them... yet.
Did you actually LOOK for Adobe Reader? Cause it's there in the marketplace and has been forever.

I like your optimism but the facts are a bit more complex than that; the marketplace is available only in 20 countries (roughly 10% of the total) and this is a very serious issue.
Take iGO 8 for instance, it was developed by the Hungarians, do you honestly believe they will commit resources to port their brilliant software to a platform not even available in their native country?
I want to have a state of the art OS but WP7 is so crippled that is no match for the competition.
I still hope for a better future for my HD7 but when? When?
So, over the weekend (Sunday night to be exact), I had a conversation with a WP7 user. This was the gist of it:
ME: (Saw the LG symbol, think immediately of idiot, then saw WP7 logo, and nearly laughed out loud on his face) Hey what phone is that?
Fanboy: It's a Windows Phone 7
ME: Cool #sarcasm. You're on Mango yet?
Fanboy: Sure.
ME: Sure sucks to use WP7...
[TL;DR long debate on why Android is better #winning]
Fanboy: Well, do you know Microsoft gets USD5 for every Android? So useless!
Yeah... so I stopped arguing...
I don't get it.?

I was winning the argument on why Android is better, then he pulled a loser/fanboy move and just said MS is getting paid 5 bucks. And it looks like B&N is fighting back with the Nook.

I have the HTC surround. I also just ordered the Resound as I am switching carriers. I like wp7 for daily use. I have been Modding phones since windows mobile was at version 2003SE. I would like to have both android and wp7 devices to use at my discretion. As long as its not anything with ios on it.

I'm fine with peeps harping on about their phones legitly. WP7 is good for something (other than as a brick) and so is iCrapple (gotta respect their game portfolio), but losing and argument so ungracefully?

I'm not schooled in the major differences between Windows Mobile, Android, and Palm, but I can tell you that people are complaining that they can't see something as basic as YouTube on some mobile devices, and that Windows Mobile has a free app for watching YouTube that works great. I can also tell you that certain video applications that enable remote viewing of webcams require Windows Mobile.
The correct retort is:
"Yes, and that's why MS make more money from Android sales than they can ever hope to from WP7. Has your market share fallen any further or has it hit rock bottom?"

My only dabble with Windows Phone showed me that it was a very nice and slick UI that I really enjoyed using, but I had to have it plugged into my PC and run iTunes Zune to do anything with it.
It was locked and wouldn't accept 3rd party installations (but I expect that's not a problem to anyone that's heard of the search function), and was just unfriendly.
There's plenty of Android and Windows Phone fanboys about. You'll get arguments for both. The best bet is to have a play with lots of different phones and take into account the hardware as well as the OS. Just spend a day in a shop and bug the hell out of the assistants. That's what they're there for.

HTC One and SG4 are noted as FUTURE release ( i understand from internal sources that most likely beginning of June )
also the App wont be available outside US on 12th....

+1 I'd rather prefer blinkfeed over facebook. At least I get to have alot more choice with it. And I maybe a facebook user but I don't want it being shove in my face everytime I open my phone lol!
doesnt hurt to try out facebook home? maybe thats the solution to the horrid facebook app!
Why hope it will be a flop? I definately won't be using it, but I'm pretty sure there's a (big) market for it.

I, personally, will be trying it out. I don't think there is any harm in giving it a go, if it's fluid and fast I don't see the problem. The only thing I can say in regards to it not being released on the One, is possibly HTC's secrecy over the device. I highly doubt HTC would want to risk a full-device leak, though we had plenty during development probably just doesn't support 1080P, as it's not on the DNA either.

Facebook have teamed up with Qualcomm to optimize and make the launcher much more power efficient. It should use minimum RAM and minimum battery when operating on a Qualcomm device, which is the HTC One .
Stop hating people, you have a choice weather you get it or not. This is Android, not iOS.
@jaaystott I totally agree with you
I dont understand whats with this hate of FB apps: ok i get you dont use FB, you dont like being ''spied'' by the FBI etc but i am talking about a new development here
is hybrid between an app and a OS..it could bring improvements or not, thats to find out
also im pretty sure 90% of the one's yelling they dont use fb or will download, will at a point download it and try it....lets face it, and stop being so precious
There has been a lot of work involved in developing this hybrid and the fact that they choose HTC to deploy it, should mean we will get the best of it
of course no one is forcing you to use it or try it, but dont make everyone who is curios or wants to try it - feel like they are somewhat weird
I am very interested to try to lockscreen, because lockscreens on android are horrible. yes there are so many themes and cool looking ones.. but functionality wise, they alls suck! why iOS shows all notifications from all apps i choose and then i can just open the ones i like. on android its a mixed experience. some apps shows. some dont.. (gmail doesnt for example). Facebook seems to solved this problem by merging all notification on their homescreen and make it more useful.
I really want to try it, and like the idea, although, in the downloadable version, it will block android notifications (sms, email, apps), which i personally think is a stupid idea, so in order to get it at any realistically usable level, we'd need a port of the first's rom.

Blinkfeed surely is enough. It's bad enough on there
