with its ridiculous price. lack the ability to upgrade and its quarky OS that most people don't know how to use, 14% isn't bad.

now, Where's the "supposed" FULL Mac OS on my IPhone? I've been looking for it for almost a year now.

I think the price issue has been discussed to death many many times before. But what do you mean with lack of ability to upgrade? The upgradability varies between models, some you can upgrade easily, for some others it's not so easy and I hazard a guess that you can't upgrade MacbookAir because it's such a tight package.

While it generally is true that most people don't know how to use OS X since Macs only have a 14% market share, leaving 86% of the market outside, I believe that those people who own Macs actually know how to use OS X at least as well as people know how to use their Windows.

The iPhone OS, from what quick glances I've taken of the development documentation, offers much of the same frameworks as the OS X, but of course it has got limitations and restrictions. It isn't full OS X, but then again, due to the differences in hardware, it never could be.


 hard to access panels on most Macs, and don't even get me started with possibly the ONLY laptop not able to change battery.

As for IPhone OS... funny, Steve Job said it more than 3 times that it was a FULL OSX, with absolutely no compromises. Still looking in my phone tho, and I look harder everytime my Safari and Google Map crashes.


What panels do you mean? I've only got experience from laptops, and I don't think PC laptops are any easier to upgrade. And with regards to the battery on MacbookAir, I've read that you can get it changed for about the same price as a replacement battery for MacbookPro.

As for the iPhone OS, I don't know enough to say how full OS X it is, I've yet to delve into the documentation.
