there's no way this is going to happen. apple has always had its fingers in both major markets - consumer driven and creative / production driven. Before apple remade itself as a consumer electronics provider (from its original inception as a consumer computer provider), it was associated with high-end creative work. Everyone used apples. Now its become more and more popular as the quality consumer computer company while also being a consumer electronics company. These two are mutually exclusive as far as software, but share a common brand - ease of use, beauty, power. The difference between the two is that OSX is easy to use for both basic grandma-checking-email-type consumers and (power/normal/IT/etc) other users. Why would apple make an iMac or a Macbook pro with iOS? It makes no sense - it would cripple the actual hardware. The only way anything like this might happen at all is if apple just gave up on making what we consider to be "traditional" computers for profit margin (I'm sure they make a majority of their money on iPhone/iPad/iPod related purchases (app store included). If that happens, I'd be really sad but at least we have Ubuntu, which feels more and more like OSX every day.

I read yesterday that they're finally going to ship the Freerunner in a few weeks. Although I'm dissapointed that they didn't include 3g support, I'm highly considering picking one up. I'll probably wait a few weeks and see how well it goes - the concept is great but its taken so long that a lot of people have gone from "wow" to "meh". Until then, I'm using a Symbian powered N95 and would love to see the day that it is open. Nokia is lining up for the next generation of mobile tech and its nice to see they've seen the light that opensource is the way to go.
