iPhone-wallpapers

It’s probably one of the first things we do when we get a new phone.  Load that personalized wallpaper that differentiates our phone from all the others like it.  But this one’s a little out there, even for me.

Helys, a French company, is creating custom iPhone wallpapers for users out of their own, personal, DNA markers.  To get your custom wallpaper you pay the $146 and then wait to receive your personal mouth swabbing kit to collect your own DNA.  Once the company receives your personal sample they use it to create the wallpaper based on the color you pre-selected.  They then e-mail you the completed 100 dpi image for you to load on to your phone.

If you’ve got $146 to burn, check it out here.

I have always had a passion for gear and gadgets. It all started for me with the release of the very first Palm Pilot. I've always had an interest in handheld electronics. From handheld PDAs, to cell phones, Mp3 players, watches and other products, I'm the first person my friends, family and colleagues call when they need advice on tech. I have roots in the online tech. forum community. I served as the Administrator to Howard Forums.com and as a Moderator at both Treo Central.com and Blackberry Forums.net. Under the screen name “lgreenberg” I've amassed 50,000+ postings. I also manage my own YouTube channel under the user name larrygreenberg. I'm always eager to help.

    Ummm, no.

    I’ll stick with my LV wallpaper – it’s roughly looks like my DNA. :-)
