Confimed iPhone *IS* Running a Full Version of OS X
Posted in Apple by Dan at 4:20 pm
Quoted by Steve Jobs today at D:
Mossberg: But the iPhone doesn’t REALLY have the whole OS X operating system on there?
Jobs: Yes it does! The entire Mac OS is gigs, a lot is data. Take out the data — every desktop pattern, sound sample — if you look at Safari it’s not that big. It’s REAL Safari, REAL OS X. We put a different user interface on it to work with a multi-touch screen… it’s an amazing amount of software.
There we have it folks, the iPhone runs a full version of OSX. Kinda like AppleTV, and we all know how unhackable that device is.
ohhh this is going to be fun!
no more pocket putty or TuSSH … just install the terminal hack and get straight command line on my cell phone?
SIGN MY ASS UP!
iPhone bitch…
@ dan
It’d be nice to take all my 1Passwd passwords with me everywhere when I’m not using my notebook.
and to think i just bought a blackjack; ahh well, i’ll give the iphone some time to work it’s bugs/kinks out. i’ve been an early cell phone adopter with non smartphones (this blackjack is my first smartphone) and it has bitten me on numerous occassions. i can’t wait to hear/read the UES review of the iphone :)
