Inside the iPhone — 3G, ARM, OS X, 3rd Partyware
DECS writes "After heading off the top ten myths of the iPhone, Daniel Eran of RoughlyDrafted has written a series of articles looking 'Inside the iPhone,' exploring (1) why Apple didn't target faster 3G networks, (2) a substantiated look at how the iPhone is indeed running OS X (contrary to reports that it isn't), and (3) what it means to users and developers, and how ARM is involved, in Mac OS X, ARM, and iPod OS X, and why the supposedly 'closed' system Apple describes for the iPhone won't preclude third party development."
Why is a mediocre phone getting 10 /.'s a day?
...I wonder how much they're paying for all this Slashvertising?
Enough, already. This thing comes out in JUNE, FFS.
Tags != Comments, and -1 (Troll) != -1 (I Would Respond Angrily To This Poster So They Must Be Trolling)
Yeah, and dealing with competition is just so hard. I don't want a market economy. Someone please look after me.
How we know is more important than what we know.

> The reason Linux has made so little impact in the desktop market is largely because a fully open system tends to devolve into anarchy.
Doubtful. Windows devolves into anarchy, with spware installing itself into core OS DLLs, messing up the registry, etc. This hasn't slowed the adoption of Windows.
The reason Windows is successful is vendor lockin. Everybody runs Windows, so producing more software that requries it seems like a good idea -- perpetuating the cycle. The reason OS X is successful is because Apple spends billions of dollars marketing it. When all you see are ads that tell you buying a MacBook will make you cool, of course that's what you're going to buy.
Anyway, although Linux has "failed" to become the one-and-only-OS-in-existence it's still pretty useful. Most people I know don't use anything else, which is hardly something I can consider as a failure. (Also, Linux is a process, not a product. That makes it hard to compare to the two products above.)
My other car is first.
He's not confused, he's lying. By omission, yes, but that's what an airbrushing does. If he ignores the existence of HSDPA, he can make the argument that EDGE is the only reasonable choice, and any of his readers who aren't cell technology experts will buy his explanation.
How do you know it doesn't come with an ssh client? Are you psychic? Are you an Apple employee? Or are you just blowing beige turds out your PC user ass?
And now, a PSA from David Lynch.
