Skype was utter crap on my WinMo phone. I didn't use Logmein at the time, but I seriously doubt it had the guts to use it.

I use Logmein on my WM phone quite often, the only gripe about it is that the screen of my current phone is a bit too small (Sony Xperian X1). Before that I ran it on a T-Mobile MDA Vario II (HTC Tytn), and it was fine.

Darwin, the core of Apple's Mac OS X, borrows FreeBSD's virtual file system, network stack and components of its userspace. Apple continues to integrate new code from and contribute changes back to FreeBSD.

Ergo, FreeBSD runs on the iPhone in essence.

FreeBSD also runs on x86.

HTH.

FreeBSD is reputed to be one of the most robust and stable operating systems on the x86 platform. In fact, go to netcraft.com

Been running my MDAIII here for a year, prior to that an MDAII for 2 years.

Never crashed once.

I can review word, excel, powerpoint and pdf's on the fly.

I can use it to phone, text or email.

If I want anything else, I boot up the laptop.

I don't care that it hasn't got apps to help me "work out", "do things around the house", "arrange my life" or "arrange my finances" (all from the iphone apps homepage).

It's all so very emperors new clothes!

You lucky. lucky bastard. I ran an iMate Jammin for a year. If there was a day I didn't have to reboot it for some reason or another then I'm a Dutchman.

In fact I can remember it actually costing me a fair bit of time trying to sort the ****er out.
