Cellphone software developer Flick has created a neat add-on interface which mimics that of the iPhone. The skin contains a lookalike front end which acts as a launcher for Windows Mobile applications. You can flick from screen to screen or press an icon to make it jiggle. The application – iSwish – even supports iPhone Summerboard themes.
Most interesting, and also most broken, is iZoom, an attempt to implement multi touch on a regular touch screen. Apparently, a touch screen can detect multiple presses but they are ignored in favor of the main one. The Flick team uses these phantom touches to create version of Apple’s pinching effect, along with the “flick and toss effect”. You’ll see it at the end of the video.
Flick staff are allowed to work on personal projects on company time, and this is one of them. There will be a demo for download on May 27th, and hopefully one day it’ll end up as a full product.
