Just a guess, but Freescale with the PowerPc has a range of CPUs for embedded apps, so if so might be relatively straightforward to port to. But I don't know how efficient they are on power draw.
If on the other hand they are using one of the many ARM varieties, then that is an entirely different instruction set. They are the most low power CPUS around , so in many mobile pdas and smartphones. There are some low power CPUs with the x86 instruction set, but intel don't make then, I believe VIA and other taiwanese outfits make such beasts. Naturally such a CPU would be easier to port to. The new UMPC computers tend to use these, but still draw too much power. My guess - its an ARM based cpu - most likely one of the Xscale breed from Intel. It would be a useful thing for apple to have mastered porting OS/X to ARM - it gives them lots of options "going forward" On 9/1/07 19:20, "Stefan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Am 09.01.2007 um 20:06 schrieb Norman Palardy: > >> >> On Jan 09, 2007, at 11:48 AM, Stefan wrote: >> >>> As Steve Jobe today explained, the iPhone is going to run OS X. >>> Since Apple >>> over and over explained, we all should use Cocoa, I suppose that >>> the iPhone >>> might have a pure Cocoa-base OS.
