Perhaps you should check wikipedia before posting such things next
time.  All of this info was found on the following pages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Phone
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X

1) Like Romain said - Android doesn't need multiple cores nor does the
G1 have them.  The G1 has a multicore CPU in that it contains a
discrete CPU and GPU but not 2 CPU cores.  The iPhone has 1 ARM CPU
(same arch as G1) and 1 discrete GPU.
2) The iPhone actually has a faster CPU (620Mhz) than the HTC G1
(528Mhz).   It has less ram at 128MB vs the G1's 192MB so that would
be a potential issue.  It also has a bigger battery (1400mah vs
1150mah).
3) OSX on a PC?  Besides the obvious driver issues, why wouldn't this
work?  Macs use the same CPUs that PCs do now.  A Core 2 CPU is a Core
2 CPU.  It's not like apple has some sort of magic hardware that runs
way faster than what other companies can get a hold of.
