Apple's iPhone is an awesome product. But BUG is different in many ways. First and foremost, BUG is modular, which means that you can quickly add (or subtract) new hardware capabilities via snap on modules. So while the iPhone is capable of running a ton of useful apps, as soon as you want to write an application that requires, say, a CO2 detector, or thermal imager (or both!) you run into problems. Another big difference --> BUG is open source on both the hardware and software side. This translates into significant differences in the freedom you, as a developer, have to innovate, share and capitalize on your efforts. Thanks for the comment. Apple’s iPhone is an awesome product.

Couldnt the iPhone along with it's apps do everything your product does? Maybe I am not getting what the difference is between the iPhone with its apps and your product? What are your thoughts on the iPhone and all the apps that can be made for it?
