Are you Apple's dog watch? Are you the keeper of ethics in the world? It must be very sad to be a blind follower who has a lot of prejudices. Please don't tell me you are from Arizona.
There are people who steal, but I am sure that a lot people who jailbreak for themes and multitasking. Does everything have to be black or white? Nuancing is a characteristic of intelligence.
There are plenty of apps that allow you to hide other apps so you don't see them.
Are you using Windows 7? If yes, you have to start the application under W98 compatibility mode.
Interesting
I don't have an iPhone and to get tethering you would have to jailbreak it because of AT&T. Well Verizon is supposed to get the iPhone sometime this next summer if this happens then maybe things will change.
Interesting
you dont need to jailbreak to get tethering.
yes you can use all your purchased apps. You can also buy apps through the cydia and rock app stores!
Are you referring to tethering an iPhone to computer via USB/bluetooth or referring to tethering an iPhone to an iPad. That is what I would use the jailbreak for - avoiding the need to buy a 3G iPad with a separate data plan.
Can you still buy through the apple app store?
So true
Honestly except for the doing of it I have no real motivation for jail breaking anything. I purchased my Touch to access the Apple ecosystem I don't expect it to anything else. I abuse my PC's, "Burn you demon spawned electronic box from hell " My Touch is quiet harbor of something that works all the time.There are enough (new) games that may not support older iPhone OS. Sometimes they support it later, but when there is a rush on a new trendy game, the jail breakers are always upset.
Good to know. But I was clearly referring to non-jailbroken iPhones, iPads or iPod touch.
Security advice: Change those passwords immediately! Please read my sig (or here) and my previous postings in this very thread!
Good luck to YOU!
Ok thanks for tip. One more question. How do I run it under W98 compatibility mode? I'm sorry but that is totally "Greek" to me. (I'm on vista btw)
Yup. You can use Cydia, Rock, or the regular Apple App Store. You'll need to download Rock through Cydia, and once you do, i recommend it and the real App Store only. Cydia is slower than Rock, has the same resources (files), plus you can save your apps you download in Rock so if you ever need to restore, you can restore from the back up. Example:
I go into Cydia, download Rock. From then on i only use Rock and never use Cydia. Why? Say i download some themes in Rock, and some ringtones. Rock backs these up for me under my account name (You have to register, but it's free) and say 2-3 months from now, my iPhone goes crazy and i have to restore. I go back into Cydia, re-download Rock, and then in the settings of Rock, i restore (automatically download) all of my themes and ringtones i previously downloaded in Rock. If you use Cydia, you have to manually find all of those and re-download them. Plus, like i said, Cydia loads slower than Rock. I see NO advantages of using Cydia over Rock. Just my opinion though.
I have jailbreak my iPhone for one reason only: to hide (using "Poof") that d@mn "Stocks" application as I don't use it, I don't need it, and I don't want to see it on my phone.
There is no official way to remove/hide it, and I really don't understand why Apple is trying to shovel Stocks down my neck giving me no option to remove it if not hide it...
Oh, and there is one more goddie I have found soon after: text message delivery reports as the network here sux and that little piece of software is very useful to see if my messages has been actually delivered (not only fail to send it as the stock Message app shows).
Jailbreaking is all about the freedom of actually using at the "full speed" so to say the product you have been paiying for, with no (stupid) restrictions with (stupid) fake motivations (lies) like "no hardware capable" device as long as one can see IT IS capable.
Those whom are having a problem with the "jailbreak" practice, don't jailbrake yout device, stay "legal", get a life, and let the others do it if they feel they want to.

What text message delivery report app? Doesn't the message app provide this already? (Little red error message) Or am i not understanding what you said correctly?
Not sure if you're talking about my previous post about Rock or not, but if so.. Rock only gets back files available to download from Rock sources. Such as ringtones, jailbreak apps, themes, etc. Not personal, synced files.
iPhoneDelivery.
The stock Message app shows red only if you phone fails to SEND the message, but doesn't tell if the network fails to DELIVER the message AFTER it has been sent out from your phone and the message is "virtually" somewhere in the network waiting to be delivered.
This little "plugin" ~~ if I can call it plugin ~~ tells you if the message has been actually delivered (by the network) to the other party's phone.
PS: most if not all the other phones out in the wild are having such option to choose: if you want deliverey reports or not. iPhone doesn't. Seems that this one is just one of the many other "features" Apple has failed to implement into a so called "i"Phone. It's a basic feature for a MOBILE PHONE device.
PPS: I don't even want to start talking about the option of recording an ongoing phonecall conversation, feature which I used to have it FOR FREE on all of my previous cell phones since "allways" if I can say that.
Apple shall first think about the iPhone as being a PHONE first of all, and then as a media device with all the bells & whistles. If they think viceversa, then they shall NOT call it a Phone.
First, some of the sales could be due to the ability to jailbreak. Second, Uncle Steve called, he said he wants you to return his jock strap.
Ok guys, I just want to report that I did the jailbreak in my 3GS, for close to five minutes I only saw the "purple universe" kind of window on my Iphone screen, I panicked and tried to stop the whole process, ITunes was unable to read the Iphone when plugged to my Macbook... then suddenly and I really don't know how, the Iphone re-started and "puff" the devil was inside... I mean, Cydia.
Right now, I am writing from my uni-MacBoock and connected to the internetS with MyWi.
The Spirit almost took my spirit away, but at the end the forces of liberation and true freedom succeed.
huuuuraaay!
