We’ve all customized our iPhones to fit our personality, but how about the ultimate: your DNA? A French company is now offering to turn your DNA code into an iPhone wallpaper.
All it takes is a bit of genetic code via a mouth swab (provided by the company, Helys.) Pick the perfect hue among several choices and send the sample back. Within two weeks you get a 100 dpi image (320×480 pixels) emailed back to you. The cost: $146.
Although displaying your DNA might beat the default iPhone wallpaper, I think I’ll stick with photos of the kids or a cartoon Smurf.
