You like the way the iPad looks right? I mean, who doesn’t. Now, imagine you can make your iPhone/iPod look like that. Yeah, it’s possible. Only bad thing is it requires a jailbreak (I recommend Blackra1n).

Basically, all you need to do is download the following from Cydia:

  • Winterboard
  • Simple iPad Theme
  • MakeItMine
  • Shrink
  • ProSwitcher

And then these from the App Store:

  • NYTimes
  • Classics
  • Kindle for iPhone

The video embedded below will walk you through it. I’ve done this to my iPod Touch and I’m really happy with it.

    Don’t worry, I immediately recognized your name and understood it was a joke. The troll much comment was for other people who didn’t understand you were joking.

    But my icons will be bigger, so ha.

  5. Thomas Says:

    Fair enough. My iPod will just look better than yours :p.

  6. Alex Says:

    It does make it look almost exactly like the iPad; I just can’t justify the hassle of buying it though.

  7. Thomas Says:

    Aesthetically, it makes all the difference. Functionally, it does absolutely nothing. But if you really want to pull off that iPad look, drop the $1 as it probably is the most convincing part of the entire mod (if you can call it that).

  8. Alex Says:

    I didn’t even bother with Shrink.

  9. Thomas Says:

    Just did this on my iPod Touch and it looks fantastic! Super simple yet elegant theme.

    Total cost: $1 (For the Shrink app)
    Total Value: $500 (Lowest priced iPad)
    Is it worth it?: *HELL* Yeah
