RE: The Apple iPhone runs OS X

Steve comments: This is pretty cool.

Yep, cool is right. Thanks, Steve; just when I was finally happy with my technological spread, I've gotta see this?! Darn that CES show! (Shakes fist in air) But in all seriousness, finally there's a phone/kitchen sink other than the Berry or Treo — the latter of which I've heard mixed reports about. Plus, I've never used Windows. (No, I'm serious.)

Obviously this is aimed directly at the Blackberry. The bar wasn't all that high from what I hear.

IMHO, the Blackberry (and its OS) is cool in the same way that OS/2 Warp was cool at my first 'real' job (the owner was a real wacky dude and it was OS/2 for the entire multi-building complex). Since I had no other choice, it was 'cool' by default. That's basically how I feel about my Crackberry. Granted, I have an old model, but I don't think they've changed much (operationally, at least) since I started using it.

But yeah, I can just hear my wife now — "A Mac mobile phone? AND it's an iPod? You better put that thing away or I'm going to hide it!"
