Switching from a completely open OS to a closed down simple OS?
Sounds great

i think just having the image wouldn't do much because the machines are so different (even if they are similar in specifications).

Making the iphone work on the N900 could be more complicated than starting a new OS from scratch...

Maybe a good theme would satisfy?

I don't expect the OP had bothered to search for this thread:

Iphone OS on N900 would be impossible AND useless. An emulator, OTOH...

There is nothing correct about this post in any way.

1. You can't just get the Rom for a device and install it on any device willy nilly, otherwise we'd see all sorts of Hardware/Software combinations that don't exist.

2. The iPhone OS, a pretty yet very barebones mobile phone OS, is in no way based on Mac OSX. They call it OSX simply because they like the name.

This isn't possible and will never happen, I'm sorry.

iphone os just like mac os x is derived from from Darwin is built around XNU, a hybrid kernel that combines the Mach 3 microkernel, various elements of BSD (including the process model, network stack, and virtual file system), and an object-oriented device driver API called I/O Kit.

iphone os applications are built using objective-C just like mac os x.

The aqua ui and cocoa abstraction layer is the same for both of them. The only difference being iphone uses cocoa touch layer (which is pretty obvious)

I hope that clears up your misconceptions!

Btw OS X , is just not another name they found via dictionary to name their fones and desktops/laptops operating system. Mac OS X, whose "X" represents the Roman numeral for "10" and is a prominent part of its brand identity, is a Unix-based graphical operating system. "X" in linux world stands for computer software system and network protocol that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) . Having a common ancestory( linux, bsd, nextstep) it was obvious to have such a name.
