Eventually there will be no difference between Mac OS X and iOS.
My guess is... when they roll around to OS XI (11), it will have merged with iOS into one operating system.
Who knows, by that point maybe we'll have those touchscreen iMacs that were rumored awhile back.

What Apple has planned is this...
Total and complete integration of IOS to OS. Within the next 3 years your desktop or laptop screen (if a laptop is still around at that time) will look and feel exactly like your iPhone/iPad.
I'm saddened by this as I'm not a fan of Apple integrating the two. Apple is under the illusion that the popularity of their iPhone/iPad means that people also want their desktops to operate the same way. Wrong Apple Wrong!!!!!!
OS Xi
This is exactly like when "iPhone OS" was renamed to "iOS".
Something's coming.
Lion is horrible and made Vista seem somewhat stable.. Had to go back and re-install SL on my wifes macbook because of the bugginess
Oh everyone needs to stop being babies it's just a name.
What makes you say this?I believe they will drop "Mac" from the Macbook, iMac, MacPro etc....
New names are coming....
I hope they just leave Macbook a Macbook and it wont be iSomething

But.......... too late, because the damage is done.. everyone already owns an iPhone/iPad
And Apple TV."iPhone OS" doesn't make sense because it is also used on iPod touches and iPads.
Names carry philosophical implications.
"I have an iMac running Mac OS X" sounds weird. However, "OS X" just means the "tenth operating system", which isn't distinct enough.

Who knows, iOS may also find its way into other devices in the future (e.g., AirPort, Time Capsule).
The dropping of the Mac part of the OS X gives us some wiggle room to assume that the Desktop software may actually end up on the iPad a lot sooner than later. The we may see hardware and software changes in the iPad to make this a possibility. If this does happen, this will give Apple the fire it needs to be the number one hardware maker. Lets see what happens.
