While there doesn't exist any project to run BSD or Plan 9 on a Nexus right now, there is literally nothing stopping that from happening (except tremendous apathy from pretty much the whole world). I don't understand being so hung up on the enclosure. Nothing's stopping you from fabricating new enclosures for Nexus 4s. You could even mass produce them, and repackage new Nexus 4s as a value-added service for people. You could, theoretically, buy up busted iPhones from ebay and repack them as Android devices - although it'd be much easier to buy one of the million fake iPhones from China, which are already basically reference Android devices. On the UI side, Samsung was on the way to shipping their devices with an iOS clone around the time of the S2. If you want an Android experience which is very similar to iOS, you could even look at MIUI [1], which rips off a bunch of Apple's design philosophy. In short, everything you asked for is already very possible, it's just that nobody is handing it to you on a platter. You could try to get rich enough to buy 51% of Apple, and redirect their whole corporate focus. Or you could pick an interesting project and start hacking ;) 1. http://en.miui.com/ |
