I'm sure I didn't say that. It is substantially easier than it would have been before, since only a new back-end would be needed, not a new front-end. But it's still a lot of work (depending on the processor). And of course, the compiler isn't always all that's needed -- in many cases, a new framework is needed too. (And sometimes, even when a new framework isn't needed, some users loudly demand one... *cough*Cocoa*cough*...) What of all this applies to the iPhone, I can't tell.
