HTC Touch with iphone homepage

I don't want to get into a debate whether the Touch is better than the iphone. I do believe Apple has always been more user friendly than microsoft which is why this I'm curious about this company:
http://www.gigabitsoftware.com/?gclid=CLjAwO_JrZICFR8aagoddjtHNg

Which claims it's software can make the key pads function like the iphone. Does anyone have thoughts our experiences about this software, because I'm tempted to try it.

Did you read that you also need to have Wisbar and Wisbar advanced to run this theme? Also, it requires 15 MB of free memory space to store!! To me that's not a good deal as it requires too much memory to use. Also, I personally like having my calendar appointments on the Today Screen intstead of an application launcher, which is all the iPhone interface really is. (sorry I know, no debates!!).

I appreciate you sharing what you did. I didn't know what was needed in order to install the program, and from what you said I don't think I want to buy it so thank you!
What about Goodwin have you seen that program. This seems more legitimate in that you have an instruction manual that comes with it AND you can get a 14 day free trial download.

It is overwhelming to see all the paid and free software available for the Touch

If you are really looking for a different user interface, take a look at an article I wrote pocketnow.com on Spb Mobile Shell 2.0. This might be what you'd be looking for:

Oh an here is a review I found on GoodWin:

Again, I am not a big fan of these iPhone like interfaces as it does not show enough information for me.
