We've been able to run Linux on old iPhones for quite a while now, as can be noted from the defunct iDroid project, which managed to successfully port the Linux kernel and Android userspace to the iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, and 4 using OpeniBoot. However, this is quite a nice advancement for those of us in the emulation community.

Disclaimer: I'm working with some other team members on the revival of the iEmu iPhone emulator.

It won't be if you taint what you are working on. Just looking at this will cause lots of legal problems down the road.

Don't Touch. Don't Look. Don't Think. Don't Breathe.

That will keep you safe.
