And on OS X I do think that apps like the Calendar looks slightly odd. However, on mobile apps can skeuomorphs be used better? Since the screen is small, and your app essentially "replaces" everything else, does it make more sense to make something familiar and light? Take the notes app for example, even though it isn't really consistent, it does make more sense than and easier to use than to make it plain old aluminum. Anyway, great answer!
