Are the Android releases available in a ROM? | Android

No, Android is not yet available in a ROM format. Currently Android is installed by using a
clean SD Card, and booted from there. It is booted by running a special application called
'Haret.exe' residing on your SD Card which will terminate the Windows kernel and boot into
Linux/Android. It can't easily be run from ROM because a) it's too experimental to risk putting in
ROM and then killing a device and b) WinMo does some hardware initialization that isn't
documented, but is needed before Android can run.
