I don't know if you use iPads but here are my Holmes homescreen and lockscreen:

Thought I'd share them.

Super cool! I've been meaning to pull the trigger on an iPad, but they're still mostly out of stock here still, hopefully I get the third incarnation.

That's a great photo! I'm going to have to log in to my iPad (normally this site is only used on my netbook) and save it. :D I'm using Ruby - the CGI babe and icon of ATI:

Taking a tangent, I'm normally very anti-Apple (due to their EULA and TOS, mainly. They've turned into the company they said they weren't in the famous 1984 commercial) but I love my iPad with all my heart. I mainly use it for the Kobo eBook app and for a short period of time I was addicted to Angry Birds. Apple has a superior screen and battery, but the rest of my mobile devices are Android and they're much more functional for actual stuff that needs to be done. I can't wait to see how the other tablets that are coming out work, especially the new Honeycomb OS. I really like the cross platform apps like Evernote and Kobo because they update the other devices that use them instantaneously. If I'm reading a book in Kobo and bookmark it on my iPad, then it bookmarks it on my phone, on my Literati (the Sharper Image e-reader), and my netbook. iPad even has an app called Pipe Tool that documents your entire tobacco cellar, how long you've had it, etc... that is pretty as well as functional. All the Android apps are anti-smoking or weed related. :| If anyone knows the guy that makes the Pipe Tool app, tell him to get busy and make it Android compatible. :D

I also wasn't sure I'd find much use for the iPad but then I got one anyway and it is the only "computer" I use at home now. It is just so very convenient and versatile. I love the iBook app and the garage band app (I dabble in guitar/bass playing) and web browsing is pretty good. Another really great app is the Flipbook one.
I just recently re-discovered comics. I've been reading the golden age ones on the iPad - like Mandrake the magician and The Phantom from the 40s. I never realized how much pipe smoking there is in them. :lol:

Here is a briarwood iPad home screen. I was going to do some editing on it but the wood itself looks really nice:

And here is a matching lockscreen (a pipe making one):

Nice! I like them a lot!

Very nice, I may to "borrow" the Holmes for my own iPad.

Is that Holmes picture from the original sketches in the magazine releases?

 

[juni]

I'm not sure where I got that Holmes sketch, but I think it is.

 

[unclearthur]

I am pretty sure that picture of Holmes is from the original Strand magazine drawings.

 

[lordofthepiperings]

My fiance has a book that compiles all the Stand magazine releases with illustrations and that one looked familiar a little. It's uncanny how similar Jeremy Brett looks to the illustrations of Holmes and Jude Law to Watson's illustrations.

Sweet! I wish I had an Ipad I could use these on though. I just can't justify buying one when I have an Iphone as they are basically big versions of the Iphone but no phone part.
