Well MacWorld keynote is over and I must say I am blown away by the iPhone and all that will come from it. I am bummed that it will come out in June but I'm sure this will give Apple time to fine tune the phone.

What's interesting is what WASN'T talked about today: namely OSX Leopard and the new iLife Suite. The question isn't why didn't Steve talk about it the question is when will he talk about it. I think he willingly omitted anything about leopard simply because it was a day for iPhone and everything else would just get lost.

What we need to know is: HOW is OSX running on this phone? Is it a scaled down version? Is it a totally new build? Theres gotta be something to this because this type of miniaturization doesn't come easily and to get that much battery life makes me wonder... perhaps the OS is embedded in a chip? What the heck is the processor in this thing? How fast is it?

Edit: I just read on TUAW that the phone will run OSX as well as desktop-class applications. I need to get the 8 gig version I think!
The other question to raise: will developers be able to run their own apps on this phone? Is it a new platform based off of osx? Will we be able to run our own widgets as well? I can just see it now... using any widget builder, create your own apps and load it onto your iPhone. Also I'm assuming the wifi will allow people to connect to each other for sharing and creating social networks.

Finally I think that Mac OSX Leopard is going to be so full of surprises that Jobs didn't want to sensory overload people with it all. Expect another keynote event next month sometime is what I'm predicting.

This is something that I've been waiting years for. I'll have to drop T-mobile to get it though.
