Mac OS 7 Is Now Running On The Apple iPhone

This post will give you folks an exact idea of just how powerful today’s mobile phones really are. We hear and see a lot of changes in the mobile market each and every day. This time round, though, we are ourselves shell shocked. The latest is that the Apple iPhone is being employed as a surrogate computer for the Apple computer OS, better known as System 7 or Mac OS 7. A development team that calls itself that MacOS iPhone Project, has now made the iPhone run the Mac OS 7 run within itself.

This project has been underway for quite some time now. The development team had gone through some trouble trying to get System 7’s mouse-cursor compatible with iPhone’s touchscreen. Now, it has been successful in bringing the full Mac OS 7 functionality to the handheld, including many interesting applications such as – would you believe it – MacPaint. Once the entire procedure and the required tweaking has been done, this will be opened out to the public as well.
