iPhone 32gb 3GS
Ok i'm a convert. Now that you can send MMS messages and all the other upgrades from the original iPhone i'm getting one tomorrow.
Can anyone tell me what are the most useful and cool apps i should download?

Here's my loadout...
From the App Store: Fizz Weather eReader (e-books) Groceries (the best shopping list app I've ever used) iSSH (you probably don't need this) Mocha VNC (you probably don't need this) PointMeThere (compass) Trailguru (trail plotting) GPS Log (individual GPS waypoints) SpeedBox (speedometer) Units (measurement conversions and on-screen ruler) TiltMeter Pro (a level and grade measurer) Fieldrunners (addictive tower defense game) MotoChaser (motorcycle racing game) Whiteboard (simple drawing application - great for collaboration) From the Cydia installer (requires jailbreaking): Flashlight (allows for the full hardware brightness of the screen rather than Apple's soft limit) GRiS (a Google RSS feed reader) OpenSSH server (you probably don't need this) rsync (you probably don't need this) MobileTerminal (you probably don't need this) Winterboard (UI modification manager) - Bez (UI theme) - TouchBars (tap things like the unlock bar instead of sliding them) - Blue Fire Battery SBSettings (a must-have for toggling services and running processes) PDANet (tethering application) LogoMe (change the boot logo) Have fun!

Hey Brian, is Apple still brinking the hacked phones? And how do rate the e-books software?

Apple never bricked jailbroken phones - only the unlocked ones (unlocking means the phone can be used with other cellular providers) - and they haven't done that since before the 3G released. The eBook software is about as good as can be on the iPhone due to its lack of hard buttons but I miss being able to page scroll with a button like I could on my Palm TX, especially when the iPhone doesn't pick up my page scroll on the first, or even second swipe. A high point of this particular e-book reader is that it's from the same service that I used on my Palm, so I have access to my previously purchased books.

There are programs you can download with no problems into the Iphone. These programs are usually the ones you WILL find on the Iphone as products to be bought. There are independent programs outside of Apple authority which may be more useful to you but in order to run these on your Ipone you'll first need to Jail break them---- Introduce software to enable it to work on un-sanctioned programs.
Apple Store: Products from apple store-No problems Independent developers: requires "extra" programing. I'm sure you can stick with the normal stuff first and when you become more comfortable you can then venture into the jailbreak-ed programs. Quote:
Edit: To Brian: Ahh, nice for it to be paid by the company. I only get a corporate discount.

Trapster
the functionality depends kind of on the amount of users in the area. works kinda like a CB radio... notifies you where speed traps are, and where cops often hide out waiting for speeders. Saved me from a ticket a couple times. |

Can someone who knows please explain this:
1) When you jailbreak a phone, I will assume that you can install whatever software you want, even if you drag it off the backup folder of another user who paid for? 2) You can install other software through the new app store called Cydia? 3) Does the original App Store still work!!!!???? 4) Can AT&T find out I jailbroke my phone?(I don't plan on switching providers any time soon or rooming) 5) What happens if I try to upgrade the software via iTunes, will it detect I jailbroke the phone and lock my phone? Or just update it sending it back to Apples software? 6)Thanks! |

2. Yes 3. Yes 4. They could if they wanted to but they have already stated that while they will do nothing to support 3rd party software development/installation they will also do nothing to intentionally hurt it. 5. See #4. Apple has never bricked a jailbroken phone, only a few unlocked ones, and none of those have been bricked since before the 3G was released. iTunes will update the phone's software without deleting anything, but you will have to re-jailbreak it each time. As such, most of us wait a week or two before installing a firmware release in order to give the 3rd party dev teams time to update their jailbreaking and installer utilities. 6. You're welcome.
