As we've pointed out in a previous article (http://www.iphonealley.com/news/more-iphone-specs-3-arms-cpus-and-1-goforce-6100) it's been rumored that the CPU in iPhone is an ARM chip. If this were true, that would mean no x86 binaries would run on iPhone essentially keeping anyone from running standard Mac apps on the phone.
Now, I'm no expert on the ARM architecture, but from what I read it's a RISC processor, so that makes me think it may be similar to older PowerPC chips. If that were true, you could still run universal and legacy apps on iPhone.
Thoughts?
