Apple Apple today announced the long awaited iPhone, a device that I predicted about years 1.5 ago that it would happen (I won't forget how a fellow editor from a Mac site emailed me to say that I am crazy after reading my blog back then). But the iPhone is real, and it's public information now. So based on the little we know about the device so far, let's see how it stacks up against its smartphone competition.

Mmmnnn ... no.

This is OSX in the same way that Windows Mobile is desktop Windows. You can't run the same apps, so it's a completely different OS, and it is a little dishonest to dress it up otherwise.

Windows Mobile is NOT the same OS as Windows, you are mistaken. You can NOT run the same applications. iPhone can not run OSX apps either.

I think you are mistaken. His comment indicates that Windows Mobile != regular Windows.
