How do I create an application that transparently overlays the iPhone home screen?

I would like to create an iPhone application that, after starting via the home screen, transparently overlays the home screen. The application itself would not appear to have launched.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Of course you can do it, all you need to do is take a screen shot of your home screen and you can put the pic in the app using UIImageView. So when the user clicks on your app icon it will show the home screen.

You can't have two applications running at the same time in this manner, so no, it's not possible.

i.e.: You can't have a completely transparent application running visually on top of the SpringBoard app.
