So Apple came up with “a combination of a video iPod, a Wii controller, and [smart] phone”. Besides a touchscreen system which Steve Jobs described as “revolutionary”, iPhone runs OS X. While thats could potentially become a devastation for Windows-Mobile-based Smartphone, it remains to be seen how an–relative to desktop and laptops–underpowered mobile phone handles a desktop OS, and more crucially desktop applications. No specifications on processor type and speed have been released at this point, but I bet you will not want to install many common applications on it.

Now as for the “revolutionary” touchscreen. Despite all the hype many–maybe most even–people dislike on-screen keyboard when they actually have to use it. The reason why Blackberry etc. include thumb keyboards is not that they cannot come up with on-screen solutions but that people prefer real buttons to virtual ones. But who knows, maybe Multi-touch is revolutionary.
