Having slept on it and digested a lot of articles, these are my comments on the iPhone announced yesterday:

  • It runs OS X. In my book that means a BSD platform. I'm looking forward to having this confirmed. I so miss having BSD on my mobile. :-)

I'm so happy I took the consequences of the last failure trying to fly Norwegian/Sterling that I now flew with Cimberair. The service was swift and great! :-) However, Norwegian is still trying to mess up their customers' lives (Norwegian link there). Same trouble as last time. What is it with these guys?
