Make Your iPhone or iPod Touch Look Just Like the iPad!

Apple's brand new iPad was finally unveiled earlier this week to mixed reviews. Many critics view it as just a huge iPhone (without the phone part) with no camera and no Flash (isn't one of the ideas of the bigger display for a better web experience? How many websites use Flash?). Despite those drawbacks the iPad does, as you would expect from an Apple device, have a very aesthetically pleasing design and UI, and the UI is now portable to your other Apple devices

If you want your iPhone or iPod Touch to mimic the iPad, it can now be done - you can have the iPad UI including the iBooks shelf, the springboard wallpaper, the same lockscreen, a carrier logo that says "iPad" , the Kindle book catalog and a NY Times reader plus a few more small touches.

The iPad is kind of like a jumbo-sized iPhone/iPod Touch with a few more apps, including the iWorks suite and the iBooks Store. It basically has the same feel since it also runs on the same iPhone OS 3.2, with just small differences here and there. Thus making the transition is not too difficult. You need your iPhone or iPod Touch to be jailbroken and have access to the Cydia app store.

Once those requirements are met you want to download from Cydia and install the following in order:

Then, from the App store:

And now your iPhone/iPod Touch should have the look of the iPad UI. Take a look at the following video for more detail.
