We’d all love to have an iPhone but unfortunately not all of us have the cash to stump up for one. Don’t worry though, because if you’ve got a Palm device you can at least pretend to have one of Apple’s great inventions.
You might think that the Palm OS is a little antiquated now and to some degree you’d be right, but using iPhoneImitation you can disguise that fact with an interface that is remarkably true to Apple’s new wonder device.
Once installed, the program embeds itself on your device and can be launched with an icon. The alternative Startup screen looks very similar to the iPhone, with some lovely animation. In fact all of the menu items are animated with a series of plush icons that replace the rather drab default Palm ones.
Another added bonus in this software package is the Pocket Tunes skin that adds iPod Touch-style control buttons to the MP3 player. It all looks very nice, but be warned that it does have a tendancy to drain battery power so I’d be wary about setting the program as your default launcher.
Nevertheless, this software provides a realistic simulation of the iPhone on your Palm.
