Mac OS X May Go Embedded?

Posted by Zonk on Friday December 22, 2006 @05:34PM from the stranger-things-have-happened dept.

VE3OGG writes "Apple Insider is reporting that Apple may very well be developing an embedded version of OSX. The report details what they believe will be the next step in Apple's future, which is extending its consumer electronics division. The first child of such a marriage between OSX and consumer electronic may be the oft-rumoured, not-yet-materialized iPhone — which it also asserts may well be released next fiscal quarter. It seems to be their opinion that with both the desktop and the phone running operating systems with similar underpinnings, 'expansive opportunities' would emerge."

nmap reports Airport Express to run OS X by Thunderbear · 2006-12-22 19:57 · Score: 4, Interesting

A while back I ran nmap against my Airport Express and it reported it to run OS X. It is most likely the embedded version of Darwin which they talk about here, then.
