I had customized android tab to look like iPhone UITabBar, found here:

• Android - iphone style tabhost: my answer
• Android - iphone style tabhost: another good effort

OR you can implement your own tabs using RadioGroup but requires hell of work, to implement RadioGroup you can refer to this project . It uses Iphone like SegmentedControl , and you can use it by yourself to look like iphone tab.
