Get the Vista look on Windows Mobile with JGUI

If you fancy a change of scene while you are waiting for the new versions of Windows Mobile, why not use JGUI to give your version 6 handset a Vista makeover?

JGUI ’skins’ your phone and replaces the start page with something not unlike a Vista desktop - complete with little widgets for weather reports, the clock and an RSS reader.

The app is designed with landscape-mode Windows Mobile devices in mind (although it should still work if you have a portrait-mode phone, it just might look a bit more cramped).  The freeware edition only skins your start page, while the full ($19.95) version skins the whole OS and comes with free updates.

It looks great, as you can see from this video (which features an unbelievably sl-o-o-w commentary that sounds as though the reviewer’s batteries are running down)
