OS X Pad HD, “from Fnet Designs, transforms your iPad into a Mac tablet with a fully functional Finder bar, and lets you add apps to the dock and change its style to match any of the 70 available wallpapers (or your own), create sidebar folders for Finder windows, and access settings and customization options through the System Preferences Menu,” Wayne Williams reports for Betanews. “All software updates are applied directly through the theme.”
“Installing it isn’t tricky, but does take a little effort. Your iPad will need to be jailbroken (because Apple obviously wouldn’t allow this),” Williams reports.

Yes, but does it run Intel apps? If not, what’s the point?
Does it allow you to install Photoshop? No, right? Then why do you want to change something simple into something complicated?
Will it install a registry file I can screw up easily?
Holy cr@p… What an annoying video…
+1
Judas priest .. 1 doesn’t capture it.
1. The music
2. All the orientation changes
3. All the tapping for no apparent reason
4. I’m sorry I made it to the 1/2 point. I exclaimed, “What the hell is this Dev trying to show me!?!”
5. Nice proof of concept, I suppose, but no way in hell I’m going to install that!
i guess the next proof of concept will be a hardware mod to install the Metro … Whoops- I mean Windows 8 interface ‘hardware ‘CTRL-ALT-DEL’ button?
Seriously! I guess it makes an iPad look like a Mac? I’m still unclear on what it does. I can’t make it through that video.
More DLL’s please!!
Cease and desist in 5…4…3…2…
It’s a legal theme. Jailbreaking is covered under the DMCA.
Why use this when Splashtop Remote (from the AppStore) already performs the same functionality…

This is not French Poetry, THIS is a waist of time. 😉
And French poetry isn’t?
Not if you are in love with Andie MacDowell.
And of course waist should be waste…
In 5 years the MacBook Air will be two iPads with a hinge.
I’ll wait.
He’s gonna have to replace the fan in his computer pretty soon. At first I thought it was my fan had suddenly gotten loud and rattly.
So if you have this installed when you hook up something to your iPads dock connector does it show up in the finder window as an external drive? Can you transfer data directly?
For those who don’t know, this is just a theme for DreamBoard. Your iPad must be jailbroken, and the only thing it does is change the look of the OS. Everything else stays the same. And this is not like an app. With this you can actually turn off the iPad and turn it back on and you will still boot back with the theme on, meaning you don’t need to run the theme again to get back to the OS X look. But yeah, other than the look, it is just useless….
Snooze…..been doing this for a year now. Fire up teamviewer pro hd and connect to my macs either at home or work.
