iPhone for PPC - Which is the best?

I have been using Slide2Unlock on my WM6 Hermes now for a while and have really gotten to like it, so much that I want the iPhone look and feel on my PPC.
I have seen a few around but then seem parts of the full package. Is there one particular one that seems the best all rounder?
I came across this one but haven't tried it yet:-
http://www.ozankilic.com/?p=31
I would like a version that has the iPhone dialler but needs to have the smart dialler functionality so that names come up when I type numbers etc..
I would also like to continue to use Slide2Unlock
Also, I would like the icons on the today screen etc...
Can you please point me in the direction of a good version.
Many Thanks
Mark

Can anyone offer any input into this topic? or pointers to different iPhone themes
Thanks

That looks good but doesn't appear to have the animations etc..
How do you think it compares to http://www.ozankilic.com/?p=31?

have also come across this one but also don't know how it compares to all the others:-

Wisbar Desktop
Check out
www.lakeridgesoftware.com
Its a program called wisbar advance and desktop. They are great programs and will let you design your UI any way you like. If you go to the forum and under skins, search for iphone. You will find people who have done plenty of iphone skins and have uploaded them so others can use them.
Right now there is no way for our phones to handle the transitions that they show the iphone do. It take my phone (Hermes) 5 seconds to do a transition that is fade to black. So until Windows Mobile upgrades the way the run graphics we are out of luck.

For transitions, try iTask. There are actually a bunch out there right now;
Grumps' iPhone App (stable, fast, has animation of icons disappearing one after another when opening app, but no longer being developed)
iFonz (active developer, many features, but kinda slow startup, since it is written fully in .NET)
iTask (written completely in flash, if you can deal with that, it has iPhone-style animations and is fast, not much development lately)
In the end, it's all personal preference. From what I remember, Grumps' iPhone App is the lightest and fastest, but least featured (a straightforward launcher). iFonz aims the most to emulate the iPhone exactly, but iTask is pretty similar, and has built-in apps like Satellite.

This thread seems to be advertising in every post...

Ads on xda?
Good lordy, ban that person!
Anyway, I'm a sucker who goes through iPhone envy every now and then. I've actually tried most of the ones mentioned above, spending WAY too much money for the one using wisbar. To be honest, my favorite was iFonz, which, oddly enough, doesn't cost a dime.

Maybe its the best for you...

Best iClone
So far, Torx's theme has been the best for me. It allowed me the iPhone look, but WAD/WA3 allowed me to customize it even more to suit my preferences.
That's just my 2 cents, which may not even be worth that.

best twitter app (wm)

hi,
im currently using twiniki on my x1 but have heard that its not being update and it soon will not work.
so i need a new twitter app and would like to know which is the best one for wm. i would like one that is graphicly good and i dont mind paying (i know alot of people go for the free one because its free).
so any suggestions?

Personal favourite, PockeTwit. I have also tried moTweet. It's good but PockeTwit is my preferred.

Tablet-Apps Review

Hey guys. I recently reviewed a few tablet specific applications for our tabs. Heres an excerpt from my article. I made a detailed video as well, its at the bottom of this post. If you wanna read the full article, check it out here:
http://www.thegalaxytab.com/2011/03/18/apptab1/
Apps Reviewed:
1) Unofficial BBC News
With all the recent catostrophes occurring around the world, the BBC news team does a great job of keeping me updated. The app is very simple; article snippets appear the left side of the tablet and tapping on it opens the full story on the right. Flash media such as videos and audio recordings are supported an play directly in the app. As I mentioned, the app is simple so don’t expect too much. The only feature missing that I believe should be included is the ability to share a story on twitter or whatever application you want. Hopefully we will see this and additional features added in the near future.
2) GoAruna
The perfect way to explain this app is by asking the question, what would happen if a ES File Explorer & Dropbox decided to have a baby? GoAruna would be the result! GoAruna gives us the best of both worlds. Its a very intuitive file manager with a twist. GoAruna provides you with 2 GB of free online storage and it allows you to upload files from your SD card to the GoAruna servers. Once uploaded, you can send links to your friends so they can download the file and you can access them anywhere using the GoAruna website. One cavet, you need to be online to use the app, period! Even with that little inconvenience, its definitely worth the grab and with the price of FREE, who could resist?
3) Twidroyd
Twidroyd is a twitter application with some pseudo-tablet-like features. The two paneled UI makes it more aesthetically pleasing and actually more efficient Twitter app. Unfortunately with the panels not being re-sizable it just makes makes the experience feel cramped. Nevertheless, for those itching for a tablet-like experience for Twitter, this is as close as it gets.
4) Dual Window Web Browser
Catchy name huh? Joking aside, DWWB (ya that’s right, I acronymed it!) is my favorite application this week. It fulfills my dream of being able to view two websites simultaneously! You can have your email opened on the left side of the screen and be reading an article written by yours truly on the right. Keep in mind that this beta so please do your best to report bugs and issues to the developer rather than leave them a 1-start and a bad review. Even with its current stature, this app is nothing more than just pure, “Winning!”-Charlie Sheen
Video Review:
Alright so I highlighted a few apps here but I go in depth with each on I my very long video. Yes its long, but informative! Check it out after the break:

Sorry, but I've only been speaking English as my primary language for fifty-some years, so can you please explain in simpler terms the meaning of that assessment? Is it good, bad, indifferent, or something else?
Do we want our reviews to be cute, or would it be better to have meaning?

I'm guessing you don't know who Charlie Sheen is. It was meant to add some humor to the post. Nevertheless, the app, in my opinion, has great potential and I enjoy using it. I recommend this to anyone looking to run two websites side by side simultaneously. Hope its clear now.

Thanks. I'm fully aware of who Martin's son is, and the fact that he's all the rage for the press today. But I don't get the reference (don't need to now). Having said that, you probably meant, "nothing less" rather than "nothing more."
I'll check the app out. Sounds interesting, and I'm still looking for a reasonable browser.

[UPDATED 11-13][INFO] [1035+ APPS] Ultimate List of Tablet Apps - Updated regularly

If you guys like the site, please hit the Google Plus one button the top left corner of the site so I know
Tablified.com - [tab * li * fied] -verb. 1. apps that have been specifically made for Android tablets.
Well, after days of working on the site, its finally here. It's not perfect, but I think android tablet owner are going to enjoy this.
One of the biggest flaws with the Android Market is that there really isn't a dedicated section for tablet apps. Phone apps get thrown in the pile with tablet apps and its just impossible to find tablet SPECIFIC apps.
Many developers say their apps are "optimized" for tablets which, at first sounds great. But sadly, most of the time the app is just adjusted to fit better on a larger screen without adding any new features or tablet specific UI elements.
This is where Tablified.com comes in. Each app is tested to insure that it really is a tablet specific app. While I want to give credit to XDA and the Xoomforums for providing me with a list of apps, I found out that many of those apps aren't really tablet specific. There are currently over 50 apps on the site and more added every day. If you have an app, please use the "Submit an app" link on the site and let me know what the app is; if it meets the requirement, I'll add it to the list.
Tablified.com does NOT allow you to purchase the app. I simply links back to the Android market for you to complete the transaction. What I do is list up as many apps as I can find, after testing each one of course. I am very critical about which apps go up because I want users to only see tablet SPECIFIC apps-that's why games are currently not available. Until I see the same version of "Burn the rope" that's available on the iPad for Android tablets, you won't find it on my list-this goes for many other games.
We have a couple of people working on the site and are recruiting people to help. If you know how to use wordpress and would like to join the team, then please PM me. I apologize if there are any errors on the site. I did my best. If there are any errors, please leave a comment on the app and I will fix it ASAP.
We have big plans coming soon. Can't same much now, but I think its something to look forward to. Sorry for making this so long, but I hope everyone enjoys the site. Ads are there to help pay for the hosting-sorry, no ad-free version

Cool Site.. I love what you are doing with it. I'll be sure to keep this page in mind when browsing. Maybe set up an RSS feed when a new app is added so I can see it on Pulse.
MOTO XOOM.

Maybe I'm missing it, but a top downloaded section would be nice, maybe a top downloaded for the week, most popular list, etc. Or exporting the ratings from the market and displaying that.

thanks for your feedback. the only way that i can do a "top downloaded section" would be if people start voting on the site. this is accomplished by simply rating it using the stars icons . if you guys dont rate then i cant display the top rated app/game etc. I had a section for that kinda stuff but because the vote count was low and it didnt look pretty so it didnt seem worthwhile to keep it. so once you guys start voting then i can make a place for it. this is only the first month of the site being released so maybe next month ill put it in. in the mean time, you can scoll to the bottom on the homepage to see the most viewed app.
as for the rating, i dont think theres a way to do that. but each app has a widget at the bottom of the page that has the market link as well as the rating it received on the Android Market. if you guys like the app, simply rate it by pressing the stars just like you would on the official market.
please keep the suggestions coming.

WOW!!! Thanks s for creating this very cool site!

Although Lotus looks ok on tablets, its not a tablet specific nor tablet optimized app. You can find more detail about the requirements on the FAQ section.

Can't find any decent gallery app, anyone seen any with super fancy effects similar to the honeycomb Youtube app?

Its not tablets its Honeycomb
I was excited when I saw a posting about this thread until I actually went to the site. It really isn't a site listing apps designed for the larger, landscape real estate of a tablet but actually a site listing apps that are fully integrated for Android 3.0+ (Honeycomb) instead. There are plenty of tablets that run Android 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 like the one I'm typing on right now. I would appreciate apps that are designed for a tablet as much as the nearest Xoom user.
Quite the disappointment :-(

Best 3rd party apps for Cyanogenmod?

What would you guys recommend as replacements for the cyanogenmod apps to regain the functionality of the Sense versions of Messaging, Camera, and other apps as well? I tried cm9 out, but kept going back to sense because i've been spoiled by the included apps.

So you guys are showing me that you have NO OPINIONS on what are some really good apps to use as replacements for the camera app and messaging app? Come on, now.

There are 9000 SMS apps on the Play Store. Some have very unique features. But none of those features are better or worse than others. They are are just different. It depends on the user. Some people love 1 app and hate another. Other people love the other and hate the 1.
The best thing to do is try out a bunch of different apps and see which ones are best suited to you. You can make it easier by reading the descriptions in the Play Store and see which ones seem like they even have a shot at being good for you.
But I can sit here and say that Go SMS is the best messaging app in the world and rave about how much I love it....and you might try it and hate it with a passion. So I can't tell you what you're going to like. Neither can anyone else.

I hear what you're saying, but i'm really just wanting peoples opinions on apps.From there, I can go on to try them out and choose what's best for me. I think that that'll be easier to do than going onto the playstore and searching through the thousands of similar apps. Oh, and hey, another Marylander!

U can find peoples opinions on apps in the reviews within the play store... no need to ask people on here too

More opinions available on the Play Store than you could ever find here. Plus screen shots. Plus change logs. And on every app you click on there's recommendations for 4 more apps that are similar to that one!
