I asked a few friends and couldn't get an answer. What features have been taken from OSX and put into iOS? It seems to me that contrary to Gruber's claim, OSX is moving towards iOS and iOS is moving towards its competition.

What features have been taken from OSX and put into iOS? Oh, not much--just the whole kernel, userland, graphics layer, and half of the Cocoa API. EDIT: Also, Spotlight.

  Features, not specs.

    Mail, Safari, iCal, accessibility, the Stocks / Weather dashboard widgets, Photo Booth, iWork, GarageBand, Airport Utility... Hell, iCloud had its roots in Mac.com.

The ports of iWork and GarageBand felt like that to me. iOS changing from a web-driven OS into something that can be much better compared to a desktop machine.

OS X Safari tabs were added to the iPad version of Safari in iOS 5. Most of the rest of the features that people are listing don't seem right, like both iOS and OS X have a search called Spotlight but they aren't very similar in UI.
