The iPhone is running an optimised but full version of OS X that weighs in at "considerably less" than half a GB, according to Apple vice president of worldwide iPod marketing Greg Joswiak. Joswiak confirmed that the operating system sits in the flash memory of the device and that Apple will "provide updates to the operating system like we do today."

this product is. This should refresh and liven up the smartphone market. I like the phone except for its closed approach to 3rd party software...I guess when they say 3rd party software they mean all software except Yahoo and Google since they probably paid through the nose to be on the "board" or get "exclusive" access to the Iphone. Whatever...still Nokia, Motorola and Sony Ericsson should sit up and take notice about this new player in town. Kudos to the Apple team a job well done I say. Personally being a gadget freak I am looking forward to IPhone version 2 with 3G etc etc etc.
But on the other hand I must say that besides the slick UI the SE P990i that i have right now does everything...except for the visual voicemail...and the sms texting in that "dialogue" format. I am not however sold on the idea of touchscreen texting faster than a keyboard...though I like the idea of the keyboard in use when you need it. BTW the problem SE had with the P990i's have been fixed with the latest firmware and the phone is snappier and doenst crash and leak memory like it used to. Pretty sweet.
Just my 2 cents.
