Palm is dead. Long live the Palm iPhone!If you’re a Palm user then you’re probably fed up of people hammering onto you that it’s a dead platform and that it’s time to switch to another handset. True, competitors like HTC and Apple have hijacked the PDA market of late and they may be considered ‘cooler’, but Palm remains a popular platform and its user base is still growing.

If you want to show people that you don’t have to pay out a fortune order to have a cool looking mobile OS then why not install some apps to pimp your Palm into an iPhone? TouchLauncher, for instance, allows you to add iPhone-style icons to the Palm launcher. It recreates the originals very well, and you can customize the icons further from within the program.

If you want to take things a stage further then grab hold of iPhoneImitation, which further mimics the celebrated Apple interface with a fully animated launcher interface. It also boasts an integrated Pocket Tunes MP3 player to experience iPod Touch-style playback on your Palm.

To complete the iPhonification of your device, install Treobble onto it. This app replicates the inertia contact scrolling feature of the Apple OS, allowing you to peruse your address book simply by touching and sliding your finger up and down the screen.
