I think it isn't as much a case of the processor not being up to it, the processor in the iPhone and iPod touch isn't that much less powerful than the lowest processor Tiger could run on. Running Alex may require more processing power though. The big issue is interaction. There is no physical keyboard and no concept of hover, the multi touch screen is very much a look and touch interaction model. What would change this somewhat is a haptic feedback screen that would let you feel around for buttons.
As for the RAM, the iPhone and iPod touch have 128MB of RAM, but developers really only get about 64MB to play around with. --------------------------------- Martin Pilkington Writer of Weird Symbols [email protected] On 20 Mar 2009, at 5:28 am, Chris Blouch wrote: > The actual processor and RAM footpring might not > be up to the task.
