WTF? OSX?! No, it looks like the interface on my cowon A2, a south corean product which also runs linux from the factory.

I can see where you got that from.. the icons in the first screenshot do look like widgets from the OSX Dashboard, but I am certain Apple didnt licsense the os to them.. :)

Apple Iphone GUI was copied and improved upon from Palm GUI. These guys did a great job. Please give them well deserved credit. Linux is gradually invading MS territory. Hope this comes to US and the price is reasonable.
