iPhone interface appears on Windows Mobile Pocket PC (video)



An enterprising gent in Europe has cleverly reskinned his E-TEN M600 Pocket PC to mimick all the functions of Apple's iPhone, including flick scrolling of addresses and music playing. Those appalled at this congitive dissonance of seeing the iPhone user interface on a competitive platform should remember this: "Beauty is more than skin deep." But Apple lawyers examining just how many copyrights such skins infringe should remember a different maxim: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

UPDATE: Apple has contacted the author and asserted its copyrights prohibit him from using them. The video has been taken down.
