Take this with a grain of salt guys...

seems pretty legit but extremely slow

looks real to me. Is that a special sprint build? I noticed some apps look different and even looked like a sprint app was on there.

I think it's some kind of OS emulator. Kind of like having Palm OS on Nokia's Symbian operated phones. What do you guys think?

It's definitely slow and buggy. They may be running it from a modified bootloader like HaReT.

It's an emulator app.

I was on the sprintusers forums, and they were discussing the app and it costs 2 bucks. Everything is functional, except for the alarm clock supposedly.

But obviously, it's very slow.

I hate to be a party pooper, but that is NOT the android OS. It is an app that runs on the instinct. It's a fancy skin, or more correctly, it's a theme. If anyone had looked at either the video description or the instinct app store it links to, it would have been obvious.
