Some more information about the Apple iPhone is keep hitting the web: the ARM CPU is apparently made by Samsung, applications will only be developed by third party companies that have a license agreement with Apple and make sure they follow specific guidelines (and possibly the apps will only be available by iTunes) while other sources say that the iPhone indeed runs a modified version of Darwin with a few OSX components (incorrectly reported by Slashdot today that it's not). Desktop OSX apps won't run on the iPhone of course. David Pogue also has two FAQs on the product (1,2).

So let me get this straight. It doesn't have the same core as OSX, or the same interface, and doesn't run OSX apps? Well next time someone tries to tell me my OpenBSD box is behind OSX, I'll just say it IS OSX. The core is different, the interface is different, and it doesn't run OSX apps but apparently that doesn't apply to the imposter running on the iPhone either.
