[REQUEST] Skin Replica of Ubuntu Embedded Mobile Media Player UI from Ubuntu Mobile?

Did anybody ever start on this? Are they still looking for a media center for Ubuntu MID? I think this would be really cool and I am very interested in working on this (though I haven't skinned anything yet).

I wonder what other kind of devices will run Ubuntu MID? I don't own an Mobile Internet Device, so I wonder what kinds of devices might be able to run Ubuntu MID (PSP, Nintendo DS, iRiver, iPhone, Logitech 1000 Remote)? I don't see the point in buying a MID really, but if you could take something else and turn it into a Ubuntu MID.... that would be cool.

I'm taking it for granted that XBMC would run on Ubuntu MID 8.04 is this correct or is my assumption wrong?

Unfortunately no, ...so please feel free to start.

Not exactly, they are still in the process in making a new media center for it from scratch.

Ubuntu Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded Edition is designed for purpose made x86- processor based devices, (so will not to run on the devices that you listed).

No reply to this off-topic part of the discussion here please, it does not belong in the skinning forum.

I think Jezz_X did some hacking on Basics 101 to make it look more Ubuntu-ish?
