This phone OS could be considered an evolution of the 'thin client' idea. Like traditional thin client computers these OS' have no hard or optical drives, which means they remotely connect to server-based apps.

I believe we are on the ‘ground floor’ of the next generation of personal and business computing OS’: iPhone and Android are baseline products that will lead the charge into the next decade. This phone OS could be considered an evolution of the ‘thin client’ idea. Like traditional thin client computers these OS’ have no hard or optical drives, which means they remotely connect to server-based apps. Many companies have a mix of thick and thin clients, and now they will have one more thin client type of computing option to consider for deployment. I don’t see any one of these three computing options replacing one of the other options, but I can imagine the traditional PC with internal drives will have its market share challenged by Google Android type tablets. And unless Apple changes its traditional ‘closed’ policy, Android OS has a better chance of broad market proliferation than does the iPhone OS. Move over Microsoft!

Since first seeing the iphone I have been waiting for this very thing. A true mobile os for the iphone. I don’t need all the bells and whistles of the full MAC OS 10.x. It has a lot of the basics already, just needs a couple more tweaks and there would be peace on earth……

I would absolutely get an Android OS on a netbook especially after a year of it maturing and being debugged in the open source realm.

I would absolutely buy an iPhone OS/Android tablet-ish computer. Both my girlfriend and I have our laptops in the living room (Thinkpad and MacBook) which are VERY overpowered compared to what we mostly use them for: Web browsing. So I have really been looking for a pc which is basically just a magazine sized touch based browser, which would be very useful for us (not a tablet – no need for a physical keyboard). And I’m sure the iPhone OS and Android would be very suitable for this.
Additionally, the popularity of netbooks really shows that consumers are ready for such limited devices.

Netbooks will take over. They don’t use much power. Imagine an oversized touch, the battery could last for days running touch os. Put iworks on it and you have what most people need for computing. It would sure beat lugging around a 15″ laptop that needs to be recharged every couple of hours.
