With respect to usability, of course this is more proving a point than being a practical solution. But I don't believe that the iPhone is marketing itself at the broad population anyway. I would dare to say that a lot of iPhone owners are actually techies, gadget addicts, just techies of a sort who appreciate good design. Just look at the massive amount of software and web apps being written for it. These are people who feel comfortable with technology anyway.

And would anyone really do such a complex setup to simulate an iphone, which is famous for its usability after all?
