It’s not that much a secret that many of us here at The Next Web are Apple fanboys. Those who are not have the liberty to tell the world in the comments. :-)
Earlier this month Palm Inc. released it’s iPhone competitor, the Palm Pre. We have an extended executive summary covering most aspects of the device.
Now, besides the fact that the Palm Pre does not work with Europe’s GSM networks, chances are you’re curious as we are and would love to get an idea of how it actually “looks and feels”.
So why don’t you turn your iPhone into a Palm Pre… at least user-interface-wise?
Of course we do not actively encourage you to modify the Apple firmware. However, in case you’ve got an iPhone with a Jailbreak already applied, Palm Prefection provides you with a theme that resembles the Palm Pre UI to great detail.
And all your beloved iPhone tools stay right there!

Unlike Windows Mobile the iPhone’s start-up screen is pretty boring and uninformative. You can customize it a bit by replacing the standard globe photo with your own creation but that is about it.
I wanted my Start-Up screen to show my name and enough information for someone who would find it in case I lost it to return it without having to call all my contacts and nose around my email and stuff. That is why I created the “StartScreenTemplate.psd” for everybody to use and generate your wallpapers with.
I included 40 free backgrounds I generated or took from my photo collection. The collections are ‘Nature’, ‘Fun’, ‘Clouds’ and ‘Abstract’.
Download the ZIP file (email me at boris@thenextweb.org and I will send it to you or try this link), unpack, open in Photoshop and enter your name and address in the blue layers. Then pick any Background from the green layers. After you are done hide the red layer and save as JPG. Add the exported JPG to iPhoto and Sync with your iPhone or just email it to yourself.
