I don’t know- people are saying it’s good PR for Apple- they should jump on that. I’ve heard there are some wildlife groups trying to get Apple to do more stuff with the actual S.L.’s lol.

It may also come to ARM processors. As far as 64 bit is concerned. ARM doesn't need it. The reason 64 bit is important in Snow Leopard is that it allows Apple to not have backward compatibility thus clean up which ends up making Safari 4 faster with 64 bit then 32 bit. ObjC runtime is also cleaned up for this reason but because ARM is also doesn't need backward compatibility, it also benefitted from cleanup and modern compiler optimizations. so 64 bit is important for accessing bigger that 4GB of memory space. you won't see 4GB files in iphone for a long time.

One thing to remember is that the iPhone OS is Mac OSX with inappropriate features removed. So, any increase to the Mac OS's abilities will migrate to the iPhone. It is said that Quicktime X started on the iPhone and is moving to the computer. We will see a lot of such movements. You mentioned multiple cores. I mention 64 bit. What advantage does 64 bit processing have for a mobile phone? I'd suggest better sand-boxing of applications, better encryption and better security. Are there 64 bit ARM chips? I think there is. If not, pewrhaps, that is why Apple bought PASemi. Thank you, That is an interesting suggestion.
