Gingerbread ported to Galaxy S

[m3ta1head]

XDA legend supercurio has managed to get the Nexus S kernel running on the i9000 Galaxy S! The port is in extremely preliminary stages, but the results look very promising. This is very exciting news for Galaxy S owners-not only has the community delivered us excellent unofficial Froyo roms, but fully functional Gingerbread is now on the horizon as well

If you can't make a phone call on a phone then I don't consider this a port.

This 'port' is completely unmodified, it is literally the native Nexus S source (which was released a few days ago) with a few modified boot parameters running on a completely different phone (SGS). That in itself is pretty spectacular. The bugs are being ironed out as we speak...
