While it may be arguable to say that the Apple iPhone's interface can be rather vanilla at times, this is most probably the reason why homebrew developer Intelliborn decided to develop a new homebrew app which alters the iPhone's interface.

Entitled "IntelliScreen", it places all the important information such as Calendar, Email, and News on your iPhone's "Slide to Unlock" screen. It changes most of the iPhone's UI and generally allows you to view everything at a glance.

Here are the different features and changes made using the IntelliScreen:

• View Calendar, Email, Text Messages, News, Sports, and Weather from your iPhone "Slide To Unlock" screen
• Smooth scrolling across each item to quickly glimpse at your data
• Auto-Checks Email when you view the unlock screen - no need to "Refresh" from Mail.app or wait 15 minutes
• Go directly to the application of your choice with a "Swipe"
• Precise International Weather (by zip) provided by Weather Underground.com
• News Feeds include Yahoo!, CNN, Fox News, and Reuters (more coming soon!)
• ESPN Sports Feeds include MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA Men's Football and NCAA Women's Basketball
• Customizing your IntelliScreen is easy! Choose which content you want to view and where
• Mail and Text Messages can be shown only if new items are available

This app is definitely useful for those iPhone users who are always in a rush and need everything given to them in a nutshell. To install IntelliScreen, just add the repository link (http://intelliborn.com/repo) from the Sources tab then install the application from there.

Please note that this is still the beta release of the program and it may be prone to several bugs that still haven't been addressed. The developer promises to take care of any current issues in the next build of the app, so keep an eye out for it.
