3G App Management: Does This Exist??

[hb21]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there was an Appstore app or a jailbreak app that allows me to control which apps use 3G and which go on a sort of 'blacklist' while I'm on 3G.

Does this exist?

Thanks!

Not on the App Store - I don't know about jail breaking.

there must be an app that does that! I mean is it that ludicrous an idea?

It's not a ludicrous idea, but Apple keeps the OS tightly locked down, apps are only allowed to do what Apple says. This keeps the phone stable - I've never had an iPhone crash, but all my previous smartphones, and those of my friends and family (including WM5 and 6, Android 2.1 and 2.2, Bada, and Symbian), have. It also helps the battery to last longer. You'll also note there are no call firewall apps, one of the things I'd almost consider jail breaking for.
