iPhone Skins
March 5, 2008 – 8:26 pm
When the iPhone was first unveiled in January, 2007, many people were very impressed with the slick look of the interface. As a result, a number of people starting making iPhone skins for smartphones (to make their phone look like an iPhone).
Apple attacked them legally, then took it a step further - they went after bloggers that simply reported on the skins.
As The Age says: “Ironically, Apple’s attempts to have the files removed from the web has only given the skins greater publicity, and they have already begun spreading to other websites.”
