How To Make Your iPhone Look Like an iPad

iPad look for iPhone

I ‘ve never really understood the fascination some folks seem to have with making their one mobile device look very much like a completely different one “ making a Windows Mobile phone look like an iPhone, or an iPhone look like a Blackberry or a Windows machine, and so on. So even though I ‘m already quite the iPad fanboy, I ‘ve got no interest in turning my iPhone into a mini iPad mockup.

For those who do appreciate making these sort of transformations, good news “ there are already several iPad themes out for the iPhone (if you ‘re jailbroken of course and running Winterboard).

Engadget ‘s got a post up with a video that shows you how to combine an iPad theme with the Shrink app to reduce your icon size and other effects to bring the iPad UI to your iPhone. Check it out here if you fancy a bit of the iPad touch on your iPhone:

    Patrick- Normally I would be totally with you on this one. In this case, though, I am actually finding the background to be gorgeous and clean. Moreover, the smaller icons offer a cleaner look and actually seem to make it easier to use. Never did this type of thing before but really glad I did this one.

    Oh my. Of all the people … I look forward to your screencaps and further justification of your actions :) Will you be sporting a Dell Axim theme when you grow tired of the iPad one? (LOL)
