How to turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into an "iPad"

Filed under: Mods, iPhone

iPad fever seems to have gripped the iNation. If looking at your diminutive iPhone or iPod Touch is getting you down, and you wish you could be stroking a beautiful new iPad, maybe the mod described at Redmond Pie will tide you over.

Modifying the iPhone operating system isn't possible unless you jailbreak your device, but once you do a huge number of possible modifications are available. For this particular makeover Redmond Pie suggest installing the following apps from both Cydia (the jailbroken app installer) and Apple's App Store:

• Winterboard app via Cydia
• "Simple iPad Theme" via Cydia
• MakeItMine app via Cydia to Change the Carrier logo to iPad.
• Shrink app via Cydia to reduce the size of all the icons on the springboard.
• ProSwitcher via Cydia for Multitasking.
• NYTimes - The New York Times app for iPhone via App Store
• Classics - The iBooks lookalike app for iPhone via App Store
• Kindle for iPhone via App Store

For more details including a video of what the completed mod looks like, head on over to the post at Redmond Pie.
