Xperia X1 and Android 2.0.1 joined in unholy matrimony

Tired of waiting for the Xperia X10 for your first taste of Android and Sony Ericsson? Leave it to the gang at the XDA-developers forum to jump the gun. Last week marked the successful port of Android 2.0.1 (or Android 1.6, if you so choose) to the Xperia X1. No bluetooth, camera, or GPS -- not yet, at any rate -- but WiFI, GSM, resistive touchscreen, and all the other amenities should be functioning. Tweakers at heart can find all the necessary files and instructions via the source link, and as for the rest of us, there's a video to live vicariously through after the break.

I love my X1 and would love to run Android on it. Please let me know when it runs Android using all the functions of the X1. I was not impressed with the video provided of the X1 running Android even though in the past there have been many claims of the X1 being able to run Windows Mobile, Android and iPhone OS at the same time. Who knows when the X10 will actually be available in the U.S. And if it's anything like the X1 it won't be subsidized and end up costing $800+. Please get on the ball Sony, you make great products, but no one buys because you don't follow the normal manufacturer's trend. I love Sony products.
