If the phone does run a version of OS X (regardless of how stripped down it is) then it should still be running on UNIX. Either that or they’ve made an alternate version without the UNIX base so it’s not really OS X anymore. My point is, if it has UNIX base, will we be able to make use of it? Could we use the command line? If we can, then will we be able to use shell scripts? It’s a work around for the software issue, not a great one for most users but it could still be useful. (from here)
