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).

If you take a look at the iPhone section of the Apple website you would notice that in every page it's cited as "OS X".
Now, go to the "Mac OS X" section and find some place where it is cited as simply "OS X" (without the "Mac").
It's just a little difference to all of us, but I'm sure that Apple marketing guys did it with a reason behind.
Besides, it's a prototype so things can change.
