My real question is, how real is that "OSX" on the phone? Given battery life and ram and CPU restrictions (related to each-other), I find it hard to believe it's reall full OSX (Rather than something related to OSX the way PocketPC/WinCE is related to Windows), but Apple's mum so far. But maybe all they mean by "OSX" is "uses the OSX kernel code (maybe a subset of it) and OSX APIs". I mean, it runs Safari, sure, but I'll be shocked to death if that's the same build of Safari that you can run on your Intel Mac. So, it’s an iPhone.
