I was hoping to have an iPhone skin for my brand new Dell Axim X51v integrated with the pocket pc skype for wifi calling, i was also hoping to have the javascript support offered by MiniMo for google map capability and AJAX'd sites launched by the iPhone like GUI
I found one that is mentioned here that was released by a IP Lawyer who worked with an artist to slightly change the icons to maintain copy right freedom from apple's lawyers:
iPhone UI for Windows Mobile Pocket PCs - Pocket PC Addict Forums
Let me know what you think, i don't know what will or won't install on a Axim vs a Pocket PC phone

That's a good question, unfortunately, there are several issues with skinning a Pocket PC to look like an iPhone. The first is that Pocket PC's have either a QVGA (240x320) or VGA (480x640) display, and the iPhone uses an HVGA (480x320) display, so resizing things to fit is a trickier matter than just doubling the dimensions like from QVGA to VGA. Also, the theme you see on a Pocket PC's desktop is an actual fle, resized to fit the device, wheras with a iPhone, what you see is just a background. You may be able to theme or skin various elements of a PPC, but not all programs are affected by skinning. The only way to really change your PPC's look is to use a program like Wisbar Advance 2, or SPB's Pocket Plus. There may be a skin for Wisbar out there that will give you an iPhone look, but to get the sliding unlock feature, you would need a program like Slide2Unlock, found at pocketpcfreewares.com/en. Even then, this is no guarentee that you can get an exact iPhone look, but you can get a fairly close approximation, if you know where to look. Hope this answers your questions.
(Also, this UI appears to be a skin or somesuch for a program called iLauncher, since I don't own that program, such a UI set would be useless to me, sorry
