Apple's iPhone and the Future of Intel

How many times does someone have to say laptop replacement before it sinks in? It is not an expensive phone. It is a very cheap, hand held computer that has a built in phone and camera. It plays TV shows, music, movies, slide shows and talking books. It surfs the net over WiFi and over the cell phone. It is capable of running complex computer programs such as word processors, spread sheets and games. It can do anything 80% of consumers use their computer to do.

OS X is very scaleable and is currently running on 3 very different processors. The iPhone with OS X can use any chip Apple chooses to put into it, including Intel's new baby.

The iPhone be a mind blower. Apple should have called it The Real Origami. It will do everything Microsoft promised the Origami Project would do but failed to deliver.
