As an April Fool's joke, I created a fake Linux app for the iPhone that made it look like Linux was running on your phone. It doesn't actually do anything - when you type text, it just spits out a pre-determined response, but there are various geeky in-jokes for people in the know. The idea was that you'd show it to your Linuxy friends, say "hey, I installed Linux on my iPhone!" and see how long it took for them to figure out it was a joke.

Sadly, Apple rejected the app for various reasons - see http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/content/linux-your-iphone for the full story.
