Apple embeds Mac OS X in phone, set-top box
April 14th 2009 12:33
The Apple TV appears to be a fairly standard-issue DVR (digital video recorder), similar to the Linux-based TiVo and its many successors and imitators. The iPhone appears to be an ultra high-end smartphone, with WiFi, Bluetooth, possibly a GPS receiver, high-res touchscreen, integrated music player, and camera.
The two products appear to represent the first use -- or at least the first high-profile use -- of Mac OS X as an embedded operating system. The iPhone will likely be based on an ARM applications processor, since ARM is the architecture used by most if not all currently available smartphones
