Apple Upset
The Apple Computer company is said to be hot under the collar because a group of several computer coders have developed iPhone "skins" that work with most smartphones based on the Windows Mobile and Palm operating systems.
The down loadable skins apparently don't add new functionality to the smart phones, however, gives the phone the look and feel of apples user interface complete with using the iPhone's copyrighted icons
Apple and its lawyers have been writing to websites displaying screen shots and down loadable code for smart phone demanding they remove such items from their websites. However, this move to have the files removed from the web have only given the skins greater publicity and popularity among the information technology savy community.
