Theming your device to look like another is as old as....well the early 90s.

@Fara
Oh yes, I'm so jealous of their clever banter, and no it's not the same as the people who say Engadget posts aren't news, duh man it's a tech blog, Stupid comparison.]]>May 20th 2008 4:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/
I'm not saying there's anything WRONG with you downing the writers...I just don't understand it. It's a tad oxy-moronic to like a blog but not like it's writers. lol. It's like liking a singer but disliking their entire catalog. But I digress. :-) ]]>May 20th 2008 4:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/
Actually, it's the other way around. Like a blog and disliking the writers is akin to liking a band's songs but disliking the members.

no, seriuosly, i can't see why anyone would trade this for apple's nice and tidily arranged icons. but maybe that's just me]]>May 20th 2008 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/

Apple just used more pretty icons with rounded corners and a glossy theme, and called it "innovation". ]]>May 21st 2008 12:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/

hence the need for big buttons.

this gets more complicated for the 33% of US Americans who are obese....lol]]>May 20th 2008 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/
I take it you haven't actually used one. The capacitance display used on the iPhone is actually rather good, and I personally find it way better than the run-of-the-mill pressure sensitive, stylus-dependent displays that most phones still ship with. That said, this is a hacked up skin, so this has no bearing on the accuracy of the display. ]]>May 20th 2008 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/This looks way more modern that windows mobile 6.1, and if the rest of the interface was consistent it'd be great!

WinMo 7 Maybe?

Not a chance since MS loves to recycle, but I don't doubt for a second they could produce something great if they ditched the legacy crap and started from scratch - something similar to the OS9 --> OSX transition! ]]>May 20th 2008 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/
It's actually ironic that a theme for the *Apple* iPhone looks better than the actual Windows Mobile product.]]>May 20th 2008 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/
Microsoft ditched a bunch of backwards-compatibility with the xp-->vista transition and look how pissed everyone got about that! ]]>May 21st 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/iphone-theme-sullies-vistas-good-name/May 20th 2008 3:23PM
