First post on the agenda today comes to us from xultar, and he has a question for all of you iPhone owners who have chosen not to jailbreak your device, why have you not taken the jump to jailbreak your iPhone?
Next up we have a thread started by naviwilliams and he would like to know which email service do you prefer – Yahoo or Gmail and what are some of the pros and cons of each? Stop by this poll thread and cast your vote!
Earlier today forum member, supermanfos, posted a article regarding the upcoming Tom Tom GPS Car Kit and it’s pricing. So what do you think? Is this something you will spend your hard earned money on or will you stick with applications such as G-Map that are already in the App Store?
Last but not least, TiPb would like to remind everyone about our new forum dedicated to iPhone wallpapers and ringtones. We encourage you all to share some of your favorites with all of the forum members here at TiPb.

First up today, TiPb would like to introduce you to a new sub-forum, iPhone Wallpaper and Ringtones. Have some ringtones or wallpapers you would like to share with the community? This is the place to go. Just be sure to properly label your thread so other members have a better understanding of what you’ve posted. We’ve even hooked up a couple Official TiPb Wallpapers to get your started.
Next up we have a thread that was started by member Erika78, why did you switch to the iPhone? We all have our reasons for making the switch from another phone so drop by this thread and list a few of yours. If you have yet to make the switch from your BlackBerry to an iPhone, chances are you will any day now. 
If you spend any time on our forums chances are that you like discussing all things related to technology. Apple, Palm, HTC, BlackBerry, etc… head to the Cross Platform and Other Gadget forum. Want to compare two devices? Perhaps just chat about a soon to be released phone? This is the forum to be to in.
See you on the forums!
The UI wizards at Gx5 have been a favorite of mine since they saved my old Treo 680 from the Garnet-uglies back in the day. So, when sibling-site leader, TreoCentral’s own Jennifer was kind enough to forward us news from Gx5 that they had whipped up some iPhone (and iPod touch) optimized Obama wallpapers just in time for the Inauguration, we figured we’d pass it on to you, our readers, as well.
(For those new to the iPhone and unsure how to change wallpaper, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!)
Welcome to iPhone 101, TiPb’s single point of success for new iPhone users, and for veterans who know new users and need a quick and helpful place to point them. This time we’re going to take a look at how to personalize your iPhone with a different — even custom — wallpaper of your own choosing, including your own photos and artwork.
We’ll show you how, after the break.

figure 1: the black featureless plane here is also an unfortunate metaphor
I don’t like to post iPhone wallpaper sites to the front page unless they’re really good; I usually put them in the rejected story links thread in the forum. And the one I’m about to link to is not good. The UI is designed for the iPhone, but you can’t actually download anything to the iPhone, so you have to download the wallpaper in a UI that’s incredibly constrained on your desktop web browser, leading me to believe that the site creator hasn’t actually used an iPhone. Supporting this theory is the fact that the site is hosted in Japan. And the name is a hilarious Engrish mangle: iPShake. Yes, I-P-Shake. But hey, it has horoscopes. You can get it all here.
