You can compile (possibly illegally) many standard OSX packages (e.g., command line code), and install them in a jailbroken iPhone. Or you can develop cross-platform apps by sharing the core code base. Not that it makes much sense, but the connection between iOS and OSX is definitely stronger than your claim :-)</div><div>cheers</div><div>—e.</div></body></html>
