Cisco's legal department was in sniper mode during Steve Jobs' talk. On 1/11/07, hard wyrd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Yes definitely. As usual, Steve Jobs presented the breakthrough phone in typical Steve Jobs fashion. The iPhone definitely is a big shock to a lot of competitors since Apple was able to successfully keep this as a big hush-hush project. Now, I'm sure other phone companies will be scrambling to keep up with Apple's big leap in the mobile phone market. Contrary to what the people wasn't able to know, the iPhone was based on a lot of "open-mobile" projects out there, including Linux-based phones. It's not pretty hard for Apple to make one of its own since its flagship OS -- Mac OS X -- _is_ *nix variant same as Linux. The good part is that the iPhone uses the same Aqua/Quartz technology used in Mac OS X, allowing Mac OS X users and Devs to customize the phone thoroughly plus widgets can be traversed back and forth in between systems (iPhone ----> iMac/MacBook/iBook/MacMini ----> iPhone). Think of iPhone as your iPod+PDA/Cellphone+OS X in one package. The 8GB of memory sure packs a wallop!
