New personal project: Creating wallpapers for my BlackBerry Playbook

Call me crazy, but I'm already creating personal wallpapers for the BlackBerry^® PlayBook^®, even though I can't actually buy one yet. (The tablet will debut in US stores in early 2011.)  I'm sure the PlayBook will ship with gorgeous wallpapers out of the box, if the wallpapers on my BlackBerry Bold 9700 are anything to go by. But hey, I'm a photographer and I can't help but customize my desktops and mobile devices with my own creations.

For instance, here is a photo of the BlackBerry Playbook:



And here is a photo I took of a Monarch in my front yard:



Now, imagine them together:



Of course, I'd have to determine whether this image would blend nicely with the widgets on the screen. But in any case, I'm pumped!

According to RIM, the tablet will arrive in US stores in early 2011, with rollouts in other markets beginning in calendar Q2. Until then, the tablet's 1024 x 600 aspect ratio will be my photographic mantra.
