It is better to go to Cydia than to head straight to the iPhone App Graveyard and be forever forgotten right? There are near useless applications both in the App Store and Cydia store, so why shouldn't handy applications be welcomed with arms wide open. If Apple rejects you, you always have a respectable place in the Cydia Store.
Apple has axed all applications that provide Google Voice facilities out of the App Store. Not because of being offensive, for copyright infringement, etc, etc, but because these application hinders AT&T from making profit out of iPhone users. These are handy applications Read More...
iPhone application piracy is not a new topic out here. Since the launch of the App Store, we've heard about free and handy applications available for jailbroken iPhone users. The introduction of crackulous makes it possible for cracking the code of any paid application in the App Store and distribute them for free to jailbroken iPhone users. There is a workaround for developers to deal with this, though.
The launch of Cydia Store happened and we have nothing against it as we thought Apple would pull the judgement string. However, the latest development would somewhat make us sick. Apparently there is Read More...
The launch of the jailbroken iPhone App Store has finally happened, where all applications rejected by Apple would find a respectable place. The Cydia App Store went live with one paid application Cyntact priced at $0.99 available for users to download. More applications would be added.
Users who have the latest version of Cydia can directly access the store and download applications by paying through Amazon payment gateway said Jay Freeman. Payment through paypal is said to be on the way.
Jay Freeman, the developer of Cydia and the host of Cydia Store says that the fewer the number of applications in Read More...
If you jailbreak your iPhone, you are knowingly modifying the versions of Apple's software on the device. This is the reason why Apple would likely be calling jailbreakers as criminals. The company recently filed a 27 page comment with the US Copyright Office citing that jailbreaking of the iPhone is copyright infringement and thus is a DMCA violation.
In January 2009, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) submitted a request to DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to make jailbreaking legal. EFF in the filing argued that jailbreaking their devices allow users to run applications not necessarily approved by the phone maker. There was Read More...
I make you break. I make again. You break again. And so on and so forth. That’s been happening between Apple and iPhone hackers (They would rather prefer to be called the iPhone dev team).
Apple’s latest software update reinforces the holy tradition of free-spirited combativeness. And this time Apple takes a different route, trying to uproot the issue at its very roots. The 10.5.6 software update for the Leopard operating system has something in its code that comes as what the Information Week describes as “a covert strike against iPhone jailbreakers”
According to the Ars Tecnica report:
The [10.5.6] update prevents your Read More...
It is time to get our fingers crossed and see what is Apple going to do this time. The founder of Digg, Kevin Rose, says that live video streaming application will be hitting the App Store very soon. The word ‘soon’ has no tentative time though. All of these talk means users will be able to stream video from their iPhones to a blog, website or social networking sites. So far so good.
First generation iPhone jailbroken owners have this application on their iPhones, so why should we not actually believe that the same application might come very soon for iPhone Read More...
So locking of the iPhone 3G was a myth? Maybe, someone tested and confirmed that the iPhone 3G works on a PAYG SIM. This guy made an experiment with a SIM that he uses on his first generation iPhone and reported that he even got 3G connection in a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Please remember that we are not talking about pwn iPhone but we are talking abou the cocconed iPhone on which we can use un-pwn option. This is the best practice that the finder has to share with us:
Should your feature pack expire, you'll be charged at a very high per-kilobyte Read More...

Jailbreaking will be great for those of you who are hooked to some of the games and applications available for jailbroken phones in addition to the games and applications available on App Store. Yes, jailbroken 3G iPhones will still be able Read More...
