My fab jb apps are: mobileterminal, openssh, cycorder, winterboard (lots of fun!) … Jeez there’s just too many to list. Most of the apps listed above in other posts have been immensely helpful too. It’s so funny that when you google all the iPhone reviews they nearly all include jb apps in the review. It pisses me off to know that soo many ppl took up the phone because the jb apps made it functional yet they are trying to stop ppl jailbreaking. I personally know 4 ppl who got the phone when they saw what I can do with it when jbroke. They’ve done nothing but help apple yet apple just wants control. They’ve become greedy to the point of stupidity. They should be embracing the new culture they innovatively created not trying to kill it!

I love the fact that as a techie I can get an email on my bberry about an outage weherever I am I can pull out th iPhone, open VPN, drop into shell, ssh to the problem server, fix the problem, and not have to worry about driving home or carrying laptops, batteries, booting, finding Internet and all that ****. If they stop jailbreaking I’m moving to android on the htc hardware or some device with good specs. Apple have a great thing going but if they’re too greedy it will bite them on the ***. Especially since competitors are pumping out hardware with similiar specs nowadays. If jailbreaking stops then apple will loose a large number of techies and developers along with them. I can only imagine it would hurt them in the long run, especially if they all move to the competitor like android which has come a long way. All android is waiting for it a hw manufacturer that comes out with the next round of incredible specs that can support all the many features of the os. No other brand tries to block you from owning your hardware like this. It’s become a sad joke. The FCC is now involved over the google voice fiasco. What a monopoly! Worse than ms telling us we could only use Internet explorer as a browser…remember that? This whole setup stinks and reminds me why I dropped ms and went to Linux. I was tired of feeling like i was a criminal using ms. Thank god I did go to Linux tho cos I made a great career out of my open source escapades!!!! Hah ha.

Those just improve functionality, then there’s an NES emulator, SNES emulator, GBAdvance, Quake, Doom, I mean, come on!

Oh, and did I mention 2 different programs to enable video recording??? AND a plugin to enable video uploads through PixelPipe (free in the AppStore) to YouTube and other video sites?

IT JUST MAKES SENSE! FREE YOUR (and remember, it is yours) PHONE!

1 more thing jailbreaking unlocks the capabilities of your phone as you would expect from the name, so it does not wipe your apps or lock your itunes- upon final reboot you have the same phone same apps +2 new jailbreak apps….welcome to your new, liberated iphone!

If I do so will i lose access to the apps i have already purchased from the App store and will I still be able to use mobile me to sync contacts and calendars?

Cheers for an interesting article

Also PLEASE share how you have Swirly working. I have tried every conceivable setting and researched forums to no avail.

Thank you.
