Apple's announcement at Macworld that the new iPhone would be powered by OS X was a surprise. The middle of last year, I had stated that Apple would likely use Symbian rather than develop a mobile version of Mac OS X. Just prior to Macworld, I predicted no chance for a new Mac or iPod device running "Mac OS X CE." I threw in the “CE” just to be extra safe, as an allusion to Microsoft's problematic money pit of WinCE / Windows Mobile. As it turns out, that detail lets me now insist that I was only half wrong: while Apple did indeed announce a mobile version of its desktop OS, it's not really comparable to Microsoft's WinCE strategy at all.
