Of course, assuming we see the unveiling of iPhone OS 4.0 the jailbreak scene is going to become very unstable for a while, and given that I would not necessarily recommend now as a time to begin jailbreaking. But just in case you already are, here is another app that makes me willing to jailbreak.

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Apps that make me willing to jailbreak: ProSwitcher

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I have not been as vocal lately in my love for jailbreaking, but worry not, I still love and could not imagine using my iPhone 3GS in a non-jailbroken state. That said, I seem to have fallen into a place where I am happy with my current setup. Heck there was even almost a full

Apps that make me willing to jailbreak: iClassic

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Sure, this latest app is not quite as exciting as some of the other apps that make me willing to jailbreak, but it still seems like a good reason to me. Even if it is a little bit more for fun and novelty than productivity. The app is called iClassic and brings that classic iPod

It looks like another developer has been caught doing something shady, and in turn that shady behavior has resulted in their apps being pulled from the App Store and them being banned from submitting any in the future. The developer in hot water goes by the name of Molinker and had a reported 1,011 apps in

It has been a little while since I last posted something in regards to an app that makes me willing to jailbreak, but this latest should be worth the wait.

This latest worm goes a little

Second, and potentially more dangerous iPhone worm discovered

Just recently we saw the Ikee worm that was targeting (and rick rolling) jailbroken iPhone users, and now we are getting a report of yet another potential iPhone virus. I should point out that the threat level for this one is listed as low, but that said it is still worthy of noting. Anyway, according to

Ikee Worm Targets Unsecured SSH on Jailbroken iPhones

The Internet is abuzz this morning with news of the first iPhone worm, which comes courtesy of an Australian hacker named “ikee”. Apparently many users woke up to find a picture of Rick Astley’s cold dead eyes staring back at them. Normal iPhone users don’t need to worry too much since the exploit only affects

Jailbreaking news: blacksn0w unlocking tool now available

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

With the release of blacksn0w originally expected to come today on November 4, George Hotz surprised everyone (including myself) when he released the unlocking tool a day early. In other words, blacksn0w is currently available for download and use, which should be very good news to anyone that had (on accident or purpose) an iPhone
