So i was looking around cuz I just got my phone yesterday and i been downloading things like crazy. I found out the iphone thing was just a theme, but hella good one. IT seems like Apple has noticed that tho, and they have went around suing everyone who was showing it or something. BUT i found it on a non english website and it works awesome so if you want it let me know its cool

Heres the article about apple being gay



Apple has a history of using lawyers against bloggers. There was the now infamous Think Secret lawsuit, which may have had merit. But they also engage in clearly superfluous, bullying tactics as well. In August we received a letter from Apple’s lawyers demanding that we remove an embedded YouTube video showing features from OSX 10.5. We felt this was an extreme position to take - Apple could have simply requested YouTube to remove the video. And this wasn’t a trade secrets issue - they also had a very similar video up on their own website.

Today Apple is engaging in similar tactics against a number of bloggers who simply reported on the fact that someone created a skin for Windows Mobile phones that looks exactly like the new iPhone user interface. See the images above - the Windows version is on the left, Apple’s version is on the right.

The offending download page is here (the software has now been removed). Blogger Paul O’Brien simply linked to this download page and included a screenshot of the user interface and also received a cease & desist letter from Apple’s lawyers.

I think this is all complete nonsense. If Apple wants to go after the guy that made the Windows Mobile skin that looks like the iPhone, fine. But to bully bloggers who are simply reporting on this is another matter.

More on this story at TechMeme. As far as I can tell, the software is no longer available anywhere for download. If that is incorrect, please let us know.

Ah yes, I read about ThinkSecret again just the other day. Apparently Apple finally got it to shut down. Too bad.

Anyway, yeah, that is an amazingly good skin. Must have taken somebody a long time to emulate everything so good.

I been modding my phone liek crazy since i got the registry to unlock i increased of performance since i changed settings that slowed it down. so its going well so far, i also got it to work like an iphone in the sense i can slide my finger across the screen to pull up this "cube" and then slide my finger right or left to rotate this 3d cube and then slide my finger down to close it, and with apps i also added the slide finger down motion to close them like an iphone, so its pretty nice there is like a sick amount of mods for WM6 pro

AHA!

I see you're using HTC Touchflo and cube on your Mogul Singh!
So did it come with the phone, or are they custom cabs you've grabbed off of a site somewhere/

Can't be bothered with it myself, unecessarily flash - just use the jog dial, buttons, or stylus to get what i want y'know.

That said, just added HTC's Task mnager, so i don't have to keep going to memory to "kill" apps -
does what it "says on the tin" and that's good enough for me!

So how about you show us a screenie of your phone's today screen Singh?

Here's mine so far...:
