No, it's not running our favorite frenemy OS, the pushy little BlackBerry JavaME, it's a new app pending approval in the App Store -- Cracked LCD, specifically -- and TiPb member the_idol was kind enough to share this advance peek at it in our forums:

read the above-linked thread for all the details, and enjoy the video -- and the prank'ish fun it might just give you later.

Anyone gonna try this out?

  13. Jrock says:

    Is this the 5 o'clock free crack give away??!!

  14. Jon Tara says:

    Similar apps are widely available as "jailbreak" app, but so far, none have been approved for the store. I came across one account from a developer where it was rejected because it "mimics the functionality of the iPhone".

    On the other hand, iFog does exactly that, but with fog, rather than "screen cracks".

    Will be interesting to see if this app is approved, or if iFog is pulled.

    Odds are it gets denied, I had a similar app, that got denied because it mimicked the iPhone OS. (In using the home screen.)
