iPhone Pocket PC Interface Download Posted
"Well, as you may previously read in my posts titled Apple do not annoy me and Dead Clownfish, there is a software which emulates some menu features of the future Apple�s iPhone. Today, I decided to release it into public. I am not the author. I don�t know the author of this software personally. Those are two programs. RE�s Unlocker (for the slide to unlock the screen) and RE�s Launcher (for the menu). You can download it from my website..."
Someone has decided to finally post the iPhone interface software for the Pocket PC; I think it's the same one as what we talked about here, although I haven't played with it. Of particular interest is that the poster is an IP lawyer themselves, and has worked with a graphic artist to design alternative icons (pictured above) to avoid falling foul of Apple's copyrights. I have no idea how long it'll be up or how well it works, but feel free to report back if you decide to give it a try.

Hrm... think I'd better download this now if I feel like trying it in July...
Kudos to him for including the source as well as the executables.

Same here. I was hoping it would be available when the new iMates come out.
And it's nice when a lawyer seems to be working for the good guys for no apparent alterior motive.

I'm happy to see a lawyer trying to do "the right thing" for a change. Power to the people! :mrgreen:
Hmmm... It's not formatted for square screens so it won't work on my device-- the bottom half is cut off. Does anyone know of a square screen compatible verison? :?:

Works a treat on my eTEN m600 phone (same phone the software author created it for). Should be good for a laugh of two when the real deal comes out.

I'm unable to get it to work on my Cingular 8525. Error:"Unable to open configuration file." Any ideas how to resolve?

It's a fun novelty item that should get about eight seconds of a rise out of my Appleist (for it is a religion) flatmate.
The Wisbar solution looks nice. And I do own the program and the 'desktop' software, but in the end it was just too much of a faff to configure. When the thing can be installed as sets/themes, then I'll try it again. Right now, it feels as fiddly as attaching tiny sticky-notes to the screen for every feature I want.
Again, the more I use other people's software, the more I appreciate Microsoft's choices in designing their mobile platform.

Download link?
Where do I find it to download the program to install? I only see the icons and the PPL to compile. Can someone put the direct link unless I overlooked something on the blog?
