The name David Wang may sound familiar if you’ve been keeping an eye on possible ways to run Android on your iPhone. He found a way to run Google’s mobile platform on an iPhone 3G a decade ago, and now he and his team at cybersecurity startup Corellium have released a hack that lets you install Android on an iPhone 7. They call their work “Project Sandcastle,” because, as the team wrote on their website, sandcastles “provide an opportunity to create something new from the limitless bounds of your imagination.”

Project Sandcastle shows Android can be installed on an iPhone 7 – Engadget
As Forbes notes, Apple sued Corellium last year, accusing it of breaching copyright laws by creating a software version of an iPhone for testing. The smaller firm criticized the tech giant on its website, which reads:
“The iPhone restricts users to operate inside a sandbox. But when you buy an iPhone, you own the iPhone hardware. Android for the iPhone gives you the freedom to run a different operating system on that hardware.”
At the moment, the version of Project Sandcastle you can download is still very limited. It only works for the iPhone 7 and 7+, and it doesn’t support the devices’ audio output, Bluetooth, camera and cellular modem yet. It also only has read-only access to system storage, and you won’t be able to download apps from Google Play. If those limitations don’t bother you, and you still want to try it out, you can get Project Sandcastle from its website.

Important updates regarding the Bob-Birnie Arena
|
The City of Pointe-Claire would like to inform you that the Bob-Birnie arena will be closed for its annual maintenance as of Monday, April 29. The Annex rink will reopen to the public on Monday, May 13, and the arena’s Main rink will be accessible as of Monday, June 3.
Public skating will resume on May 13, and the summer public activities programming will begin on June 3 when both rinks have reopened to the public.
In addition to the annual maintenance of the facility, two renovation projects are also scheduled to start at the same time:
Installation of new sound systems
The City will be replacing its current sound systems in both the Main rink and Annex rink, to offer arena visitors a better overall experience, whether watching from the stands or participating in on-ice activities. This project is expected to be conducted throughout the month of May.
Renovation of locker rooms in the Main Rink
The City will also be renovating the five locker rooms located in the Main rink, to bring up to date the amenities currently available to participants. These renovations are expected to begin in early May and will be completed by mid-August.
For all information about the Bob-Birnie arena, visit the arena’s page on our website.

Surprise Apple Event Hints at First New iPads in Years – CNET
We haven’t seen a new iPad in years, but Apple seems likely to change that in just a few weeks. All signs point to the release of new iPad models in the first week of May.
This morning, I received an email invite for a virtual Apple event, scheduled for May 7 at 7 a.m. PT (10 a.m. ET). The invite, which says “Let Loose,” shows a drawing of a hand holding an Apple Pencil. Considering the iPad is the only device that uses the Pencil — that doesn’t leave much to the imagination.
Apple’s been expected to release new OLED-screened iPad Pros with newly designed Pencils and Magic Keyboard cases. New iPad Airs are also expected, including a larger-screened 12.9-inch model. Apple’s iPad Air lineup tends to be slightly redesigned versions of previous-model iPad Pros, so just look to the M2 iPad Pro lineup for a sense of what the next Airs could be. These would be the first new iPads since the iPad Pro M2 model arrived in late 2022.
