I remember only Core Animation but I might have missed something.


in the iPhone presentation (not the whole keynote video), at exactly 9 minutes, you can see Steve Jobs presenting what's in the iPhone's OS X, and on the slide there's Cocoa and he also says Cocoa.

On the other hand, there is not yet a clear confirmation that the

I think I've seen some slide mentioning Cocoa and Core Animation.

And, there is no confirmation at all that the iPhone will be Open and
there will be a SDK. And that you can use Xcode and IB to write
cross-platform applications...

From what I've read it won't be open.

That all is/will be available in mySTEP if we enforce this work (sort
of "Open-i-phone") ...

What is most interesting for me in the context is
a) getting GNUstep running on the N800 (and provide a usable X- platform build
   environment)
b) build fancy effects and a cool UI theme

Building something better than maemo/hildon for the N800 would be quite awesome, too bad I don't have the time/resources :-) I find the 770/N800 surprisingly similiar to the interesting aspects of the iPhone. Except it lacks the flashy OS.

Well, it is mainly lacking to be a phone whih makes it quite useless...

I have the N770 and did some experiments with mySTEP but found that it is not the optimal solution. IMHO much better will be the OpenMoko and/or an HTC Universal with Xanadux.
