The only thing I'm jealous of the iPhone for is the T-Pain app. That's the ONLY app I wanna see ported to Winmo. I wanna sound like a robot too, damnit.

$1000 is not enough $, at least to me. I make roughly $200 a day, and for someone to complete something like this it would take months. Even if someone new exactly what to do, it would still take weeks, up your bid to about 10racks, and maybe somebody will think about it.

Not possible at all. Processor architecture, the iphone's capacitive screen, Apple not releasing it's source code and sooo many more reasons. Yes, getting iphone apps to work on WM can be done, much in the same way I can play the original Oregon Trail with an emulator on my PC. Does that mean I can use Mac OS on my PC? Negative sir. Not possible. Also, iphone apps and WM apps are generally very basic as compared to Mac and PC software. So, if a dev sees an app they like for iphone, rewriting it for WM is generally not that complicated. So, link all the iphone apps you want to that work on WM, it's irrelevant to the porting of iphone OS. Basically what you are asking for is a ground up rewrite of the OS for an HTC device. You do understand how many millions Apple spent on development of their OS right? Your 1k wouldn't even pay for the scratch paper the developers use.

I know the money isn't much but that's about how much an iphone would be worth to me.

please pass this on to your favorite developer/programmer

It seems like there are many different ROM's, or OS's that can be modified to run on these tiny little computers. So why not the apple iphone OS? Seems like hardware wise we would be in heaven with such a great keyboard to the most popular and succesful phone ever. Have any of the talented programmers here attempted it? i would easily pay $50 ore even more for it, as I'm sure many, many other people would. i am certain that there is a programmer out there with access to the iphone source code and can write in the drivers for the hardware. i realize it would be illegal and copyright infrigement but the person that could do it would be infamous and be offered a sweet, cushy programming job at a huge corporation. which of you programmers are currently in a job they don't like or even unemployed? this would be your opportunity to cross the invisible barrier and make double, triple, or even 100X your current salary. think about it.

PS-other than the amazing talents that you would be displaying by doing this, even if you don't become famous, I'm still going to show you how to make money off this. Immediately before releasing the program to the public, get as much money as you can to buy, borrow, cheat, steal, or using whatever means necessary and get every single touch pro 2 phone you can find. i literally mean, 10000+ of them if possible. As soon as the program is released, the word will get out, and within weeks the cost of getting a touch pro 2 on the black market will be upwards of $600-$800, maybe even more. an iphone with a keyboard...

Why don't you just take a shortcut and marry a dude?

Glue a tiny bluetooth Sprint phone to the back of an iPod Touch. Done.
