Lets face it WM has a pretty clunky and fiddly interface even with HTC home. I would like to be able to use more finger navigation on the screen rather than stylus and buttons. There seem to be quite a few iphone emulators out there some free and some not but are any truly workable?

To actually emulate the iphone OS or any OS for that matter takes a bit of processing power which would make the phone even slower.
The so called "emulators" are normally looks a likes rather than true emulation of the actual iphone.

Being slightly more blunt, what would be the point? You want an iPhone? Buy an iPhone. blink.gif

Spb Mobile shell makes WM far more user friendly - works well on my Athena, not sure about the Kaiser.

But it's not an iPhone emulator!

So why post about iPhone emulators? Why not post "GUI enhancements for touchscreen" or something? tongue.gif

with such pedantry - I'm regreting it already......... rolleyes.gif
Seriously though - I have S2U2 which I think is fantasticand makes the phone much more usable. I've tried PointUI but didn't like it. I've used an iphone and think the touch icon selection is a fantastic solution for a phone interface - it makes WM6 look like a comand line interface. I've just got a Brodit car holder and the phone has now taken over Sat nav duties from my old Garmin Streetpilot but having to fiddle about with buttons, scroll wheels and a stylus is not very user freindly when at the wheel whereas pushing a set of on screen icons to select various phone functions is.

WOW - just downloaded this and it could be exactly what I'm after. Works fine with my Kaiser so far!
Thanks for the tip!
