Well, WRT OTG, some hackers already have it working, and we'll get it nicely packaged "any day now" (I think a week or two). It's likely to take a bit longer to hack that on an iPhone, because you can't build a stock kernel from source -- you either gotta hack object code, and take advantage of the existing kernel, or start completely from scratch. OTOH, I suppose a chances exists (though vanishingly slim, IMO) that iOS gets OTG in a future update, where Maemo never will.

Of course, I would tend to call that angle "hackability" or "openness" -- "configurability" probably referred to something totally different.

Oh, and processor-wise -- everyone knows an A4 SoC has a Cortex A8 core, same as ours. (And running the same 1GHz clock speed as some of ours. ) But if you want to compare numbers, you gotta compare SoC vs. SoC, so it's 0xA4 vs 3430 -- we're 20.9x as good!
