Paging Apple Legal: FreeStyl = WinMob iPhone!

The URL is lawsuit fodder by itself: whoneedsaniphone,com
Q: Are you guys just trying to copy the iPhone interface?

A: Not at all. While it is true that the release of Apple's iPhone provided the inspiration to launch the FreeStyl project, the focus of FreeStyl is to provide a sleek, stylish interface to the Windows Mobile platform. We feel that WM is a much more powerful and open system than the iPhone, as evidenced by the thousands of available 3rd party applications available for download.The default interface for Windows Mobile is functional, but not very attractive. FreeStyl is an attempt to translate some design ideas from interfaces like the iPhone onto the Windows Mobile platform.

Here's someone who's gone whole hog, tarting up his iPaq to mimic an iPhone (warning, turn down your speakers!):

I'd rather have the real thing.

After June and the release of apps, so will everybody.
