Steve Jobs: iPhone runs "Real OS X"

Chinese-language input is the make-or-break feature for me, but then I live in China. Mac OS X has historically been kind of lackluster in Chinese input compared to Windows, but their existing tech would be acceptable for phone use.

Ideally I'd like to see:

1. A version of garageband running on the iPhone.
2. Logic express?
3. iMovie
4. dotmac integration

How about that?

Portable Home Sync and, why not, the ability to sync bookmarks and everything else without using .mac (but I'm quite sure what steve said at the D5 will mean .mac's death) ;-)

A lot of these ideas won't work. Although it does run OSX, Jobs also stated at the same time that the iPhone does not have Finder. It features a different User Interface. Most of the applications that've been mentioned here: parallels, iLife, protools, etc. all require the Mac OSX Finder and it's supporting frameworks to run.

Parallels desktop :D

1) The ability to run Nisus Pro
2) Some kind of spreadsheet
3) Voice dictation to be able to create and edit docs just using my voice with the obvious also capabiity to bring up the keyboard.
4) Keynote and a way to connect the iPhone to a projector for classes. (Obviously a preference in Keynote to turn off the phone part during a presentation.) And yes, I really want this. Imagine people looking at me hooking up my iPhone to the projector instead of a laptop. drool.

Yes I've seen the ones for iPods which you can use slideshows with. That would I guess be good enough. But more so if there was some kind of animation in the presentations. Yes I figured out how to just use more pictures to mimic that sort of. But you don't have text sliding in or the cube effect.

"7. Marc -- Dashboard, iLife, and iTunes are already IN the iPhone.

Garageband? iMovie? iDVD? Really? No...No I don't think so Mr. Ass Pubes. No iLife.

It's probably OS X in the same way that the AppleTV has OS X...it had the underlying OS but not the same graphical elements that say, 10.4.9 on your MBP does. I'm guessing that any apps on there are specifically iPhone based. I also see people hacking it within hours, much like the ATV.

Call me a freak, but I want a console! (ssh on your phone, anyone? anyone?)

Parallels 3.0
lol
:P
