OS-X on ARM, opens up the world.

With the advent of the iPhone, comes the notion that OS-X now runs on ARM, the chip powering the iPhone. Something more interesting than that notion, is that OS-X now runs on an ARM chip inside an embedded device! Treo, Palm and many smart phones with windows mobile 5 and PDA’s are all running ARM cpu’s. That means OX-X running on just about anything. It may also be the reason that third party apps will not run, as there is no ARM/OS-X development environment (I’m a registered Apple developer). At best you need a compiler in the current developer package that can compile an ARM application. The current duel compile app (intel/PPC) could be used to deploy such a thing, but in a small embedded system would be wasting too many resources in that environment. Wait for for a Appet development package for ARM, then you will see third party apps.

Then wait for an applet to switch Mobil networks. 😉
