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).

The point is its claimed as the full version of OS X, when it clearly isn't. Its a severely cut back and redeveloped version, even if it is based on the OS X kernel.
Its different from the Linksys routers saying they are running Linux because Linux is a kernel. If the someone says that their Linksys router is running the full Ubuntu on it, even if they have the Ubuntu kernel running on their router, they aren't running the full Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a full software stack, starting from the kernel going to a set of default applications, just like Windows is the same, and the same with OS X as well.
