OS X on iPhone

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/OS X on iPhone

From the Apple website:

OS X
All the power and sophistication of the world’s most advanced operating system — OS X — is now available on a small, handheld device that gives you access to true desktop-class applications and software, including rich HTML email, full-featured web browsing, and applications such as widgets, Safari, calendar, text messaging, Notes, and Address Book. iPhone is fully multi-tasking, so you can read a web page while downloading your email in the background. This software completely redefines what you can do with a mobile phone.

So seriously, who is going to call them liars?

GYAAAH!

Do we have a thread merge function here?

Anyway, I already have :P
Although it's still entirely possible that they have held on to a lot of the code from Mac OS X, it still won't be the same operating system. They can call it the same, but it's not the same. That would be like saying a goldfish is like a whale except smaller.

By the same token, we have windows running on mobile phones. But there are very few people who claim it's the same as is running on PC's.

Ha ha ha good point GrahamK.

To make a long story short they're selling a mobile phone for 600 dollars and it has shiny buttons. Or is that too short? ;)

It is probably too short yes, but the transparent 3D glass buttons, clocks, bars etc. are giving me the creeps.

Still, nice if they create a kind of mini-PC running that operating system (to return to the actual topic of this thread! :)).
