Put a Windows Phone 7 theme on your iPhone

Been trying to think of a way to try out a new Windows phone without ~~crossing over to the dark side~~ switching sides? If that's the case and you have been looking for a way to recreate the Windows Phone 7 interactive theme on your iPhone or iPod touch, Wyndwarrior's "OS7" is available in public beta for anyone with a hankering for Windows on their jailbroken iOS device. Here are the instructions from modmyi.com on how you can try it out if you are so inclined:

1. Install Backboard from Cydia.
2. Make sure you have created a "Default" backup; if not, press the add button in Backboard and give it a name.
3. Go on your device and click on this link: backboard://http://wyndrepo.googleco...es/OS7Beta.zip
4. Press "Yes" and wait for it to download. This may take a few minutes depending on your internet connection.
5. Select OS7 from Backboard. Press Install. Respring.

Voting is going on right now to set the as-yet-unknown price for OS7, so if you want in on the action, you may want to get your voice heard. Click Read More to check out video of the OS7 demo.

If I want to recreate the Windows Phone (or the Windows Mobile) experience in my iPhone I don't need to jailbreak it so I can install a new theme. I'll just hard-reset it everytime I need to use it. Then it will be exactly Ike all my past WM PDAs (except unlike Windows Mobile none of the 3rd party apps will cause it to reset).

Muzik is an app in the official App Store that gives you a near perfect Zune HD music interface... The developer is adding a video mode for the iPhone soon! :D

It is, however, a little buggy... (Like, a transition flicker and the play button doesn't change the 1st time you press it, plus themes for artists are kinda a hassle to set up, but it's getting much better. :D)

I like this, it works pretty well and it's fun. The Donate box is extremely annoying! I donated because it's great work but that box has to go asap.

No access to the task switcher from the home screen, and the highly annoying "Donate" box EVERY SINGLE TIME I open an app mean this stinker gets uninstalled immediately.
