Pocket PCs can look like iPhones, too

So maybe you're not the Palm OS user by day, closet iPhone fanatic by night type. No, that's not you at all; you're the Pocket PC user by day, closet iPhone fanatic by night type. Totally different breed, we understand. The cats over at xda-developers have cobbled together a means to get the Windows Mobile Pocket PC of your choice looking pretty much like an iPhone -- if you let your eyes go out of focus, that is -- using a combination of apps and skins. Of course, none of this makes Apple too happy (as evidenced by the removal of the screenshot from the forum), but aren't the folks using these hacks just rearing to buy an iPhone in June anyway?

There is a certain moral superiority around the iphone, no? It should be true that Apple does not have a monopoly on a good user experience. Take Pocket Express by Handmark for example. Excellent, simple user experience. It makes my att windows mobile smartphone perform better.

Already down...

Like someone said, Apple gets away with what Microsoft never could.

No, no were not. I did the Iphone/Iphoney skin to be cute and kind of annoying. I think it's funny that Apple's lawyers have gone ape shit over it, it's skins and icons... I'm shocked that they are making a big deal over Icons... Like they are such a huge copyrighted thing. I won't be getting an Iphone (and yes I have Cingular, hell I even sell Cingular, but the Iphone is such a waste in cash), and I won't be removing The Iphone Icons from my Pocket PC.
