Apple Tablet Computer

I love my MacBook and iPhone 3GS dearly. I use them for work and in my personal life constantly and would surely be lost without them. I mean, no GPS/maps, mobile web, email, etc. etc.?!?! Yikes…
So when I heard of a possible Apple Tablet Computer coming out (for real this time) I couldn’t wait to hear all the details. Sure, it’s still technically a rumor but Apple has announced a big press conference for this Wednesday so I guess we’ll all soon find out then if the rumors were true. In addition to the possible new tablet computer they are expected to talk about iLife ’10 and iPhone OS 4.
A friend of mine found some pics online of the rumored new tablet device and posted the pics on his blog. Check them out here.
Finally, everyone is guessing at what Apple will call the new device. Some of the ideas people are throwing around are iSlate, iSlab, Newton, and iPad. They’re all decent names but I really hope they don’t go with iPad. Anyone remember this old Mad TV spoof commercial? LOL…

A while back I posted my custom iPhone theme called “Night Sky”. I recently replaced the icons with a new set and wanted to repost the download. The new icons come from the theme called “Deep“. I also updated the SMS “bubbles” as well (matte finish).
For installation help and other info about my custom theme, check out my original post.
Custom iPhone Theme “Night Sky”
Date: November 2nd, 2008 Category: Things Tags: apple, iphone, iphone themes, winterboard [ View Comments ]
I have a 16GB black Apple iPhone 3G. I love it. What would make this awesome device even better? The ability to change the theme of the phone including wallpaper, lock screen, icons, etc… Currently this is not possible with a vanilla iPhone 3G and iTunes.
So, one day I was bored and I decided to “jailbreak” my iPhone so I could add custom/non-approved applications onto the phone. One of the apps I added was Winterboard. This app gives you the ability to upload custom springboard (aka. desktop) themes to the phone and replace the default look of your device. But, the majority of the pre-made themes available sucked or I just didn’t like them. So I decided to make my own.
I present my custom iPhone theme for Winterboard – “Night Sky”
What do you need to run this theme?
- Jailbroken iPhone (up to date version)
- Cydia App (kind of like installer app but way better)
- Winterboard App (install via cydia)
- Categories App (allows the use of folders on springboard)
- My theme “Night Sky” (download below)
What doe this theme include?
- Custom springboard wallpaper
- Custom lock screen
- Custom battery screen
- Custom app icons
This theme was cobbled together from bits of other freely available themes. I added the custom wallpapers and did some other photoshop touch-ups. All in all a good looking theme. Enjoy…
