Default iPhone Interface on a Pocket PC: Impressive

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpP1_79rhQ8

No, this isn't turning into an iPhone site, but this video will interest any Pocket PC user. Check it out.



We'll never see it released in any wide way because of what Apple's lawyers would do this this guy if they caught him, but it's impressive to see what he's created. I wonder how he did it? Is it all Flash-based or something else? And would you be willing to give up the ability to see all the information at a glance that you get with the current Today Screen for some extremely nice eye-candy like this? There's always Spb Mobile Shell.

Sorry I couldn't help it, the above is just too funny. Anyways, lets get back to the post, why doesn't Apple have an iTunes app for pocket pc. Or do they? They have one for Windows Xp. I prefer iTunes over WMP. I would actually use it somewhat on my pocket pc.

Simple: the only portable device Apple wants you buying is an iPod. They will not license their ironically named "FairPlay" DRM to anyone.

I know the interface could be designed with PPX. However, the scrolling capability would need to be implemented by a third party vendor, which could be you if you are a programmer.

Shouldn't this be titled "iPhone Interface on a Pocket PC: Impresive?"

Wow, that's really impressive. Now, you could get the iPhone interface and still use your 3rd party apps 8-D. This would be one application I would GLADLY pay for. The dial-pad implementation is pretty cool. I would think a Text Message Client would work equally well on this setup with an on-screen keyboard. I hope he releases it.
