iPhone Wallpapers work on webOS Too!

By: , 10/21/2010 10:12 am | 11 comments

Just because something was created for the iPhone (or iPod Touch) doesn’t mean it has to stay on that platform. We’ve seen this proven over and over again with some of the most popular PDK apps on our devices, and it’s only a matter of time before more people start hopping on the bandwagon to port over their projects to the (*cough*superior*cough*) platform.

But why wait? There are already a ton of cool things out there that were built to work on iOS that actually work well on most mobile devices, including webOS. While you might be searching for webOS wallpapers, for example, you could actually find some really great ones on the web that were branded for iOS or Android.

And thus we reach the point of this article, by listing a few of our favorites (that work on the Palm Pre and Palm Pre Plus):

These are some of the wallpapers that got us started on our search in the first place. We’re looking for some for the ladies, too.

Nice and clean wallpapers to make you feel at home… if that’s what they do.

A really cool vintage look that will really set your phone apart from others.

There are so many cool wallpapers out there that we didn’t want to miss any of them. Smashing Magazine has a pretty great compilation (as they usually do).

Quite a nice and large package of Wallpapers that will look great on your device.

Everyone has a little design critic in them. But for those of us that are truly sold-out on typography, you can get these wallpapers.

Got any others that you want to share? Leave them in the comments below for others to see.

flattr this!

    I usually do a google search and specify 320×480 as my size then search for whatever type of wallpaper I’m looking for, most times they are made for iPhone but look great on my pre.

    Flickr Addict, Flickr Addict Lite and Flickr Mundo all grab iPhone wallpapers from the ‘iphone wallpapers’ group on Flickr.

    What are the ones for ladies supposed to say? Today I will cook AND clean? Lol, seriously, half of those for men wallpapers aren’t really for men, but I know you just shared the link.

    These are nice, but I generally go with wallpapers for things I actually like, play, or watch rather than abstract concepts. Find a picture, crop it to 320×480. Instant “iPhone” wallpaper.

    Give WebOs developers a chance. Phantastic Wallpaper or Backgrounds are cool apps…and free!
