Well as far as UNIX systems go. the iPhone OS is more like a patch job than a refinement. I don't want to come across as insulting your holy grail version of UNIX. but to not support Java or flash in a web enabled phone's OS is a big misstep. This isn't because of the software not being able to get a version ready in time for the launch, it is because the iPhone's OS does not allow it Apps to interact with 3rd party software unless Apple agrees it is neccessary. The fact that the OS can't really multi task, you can't talk on the phone and use another application at the same time. There are a lot of problems with with the implementation of UNIX on the iPhone.
