No, it is based on a tailored version of MacOS X - so it is Unix (BSD) based. Regarding developers, it looks like it will be a closed device. Might be possible to add widgets but probably not full native applications.

Closed ... That's why I'll never buy one and prefer a symbian or another "open" system.

Hi

Does any one here thinks that launch of iPhone can be a threats to the Symbian market. I personally feel it will have some effect, eventhough it might be a closed device, but the brand value is quite high and device looks really good. So if i go in the market to look for a new phone i surely will have a look on the iPhone besides N series from nokia. Wat do experts say....
