-Tor will soon be available for Android.
+Tor is available for Android by installing our package named Orbot.
 </p>
+<p>
+Orbot is an application that allows mobile phone users to access the web,
+instant messaging and email without being monitored or blocked by their mobile
+internet service provider. Orbot brings the features and functionality of Tor
+to the Android mobile operating system.
+</p>
+<p>
+Orbot contains Tor, libevent and privoxy. Orbot provides a local HTTP proxy
+and the standard SOCKS4A/SOCKS5 proxy interfaces into the Tor network. Orbot
+has the ability to transparently torify all of the TCP traffic on your Android
+device when it has the correct permissions.

+For standard Android 1.x devices (G1, MyTouch3G, Hero, Droid Eris, Cliq, Moment):
+<ul>
+<li>The “ProxySurf” browser available in the Android Market allows for use
+    of a proxy. Simply set the HTTP Proxy to '127.0.0.1' and port '8118'.
+<li>For Instant Messsaging, try “Beem” in the market.
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+For Android 2.x devices: Droid, Nexus One
+<ul>
+<li>You must root your device for Orbot to transparently proxy all TCP traffic.
+<li>For non-modified and non-rooted phones, you'll want to manually configure
+    your specific applications.
+<li>If you root your device, whether it is 1.x or 2.x based, Orbot will
+    automatically, transparently proxy all web traffic on port 80 and 443
+    and all DNS requests. This includes the built-in Browser, Gmail, YouTube,
+    Maps and any other application that uses standard web traffic.
+</ul>

 Note that this might not always give you the latest stable Tor version.
 Additionally, the Android web browser does not have Torbutton. This means that
 while it may be useful for circumvention, it probably is unsuitable for strong
