I suppose Steve could have gone on to explain this aspect a bit better, but he had features to cover people!!

Now fanboys and haters alike ran with this golden nugget and started frothing at the mouth with the thought of running Photoshop CS3 on their sexy little iPhone. To say nothing of Quark, World of Warcraft, Final Cut Pro, etc. Apparently they have little knowledge of operating systems. To say it as simply as possible, OSes, for the most part, are very modular.
