iPhone Lust Comes to Other Phones

To totally munge an old saying: Interface hacking is the sincerest form of flattery. For some, the six-ish month wait for the iPhone is just too much, so the iPhone interface hacking flattery has begun.
mobile magazine found an interface hack for the T-Mobile SideKick III. It doesn't make the SideKick function like an iPhone, but it does at least offer a basic resemblance to the icons Apple used for its interface. You can see the SideKick iPhone theme at the sk3themes Web site.

Palm Treo users can get the iPhone look, too, thanks to iPhony - If you can find it, that is. This interface hack was removed from the Brighthand Web site after Apple's legal team said it had to go.
Apple isn't looking on iPhone interface hacks as compliments to its innovative design - It is actively hunting down sites that are hosting the files. Earlier this month, the MoDaCo Web site received a letter from Apple stating that a link to an iPhone hack for Windows smartphones needed to be removed.
The aggressive stance Apple has taken on protecting its iPhone interface means that the hacks smartphone users are hunting for will last only until the host sites get a letter from Cupertino.
