UPDATE: Looks like there’s some jailbreaking happening in the background. Read more at Engadget.
Now there’s no reason to jailbreak!
InstallerApp is a native Mac OS X application (soon — for Windows too) that allows you easily download applications from Installer and Cydia directly onto your computer, and install them to the iPhone connected with USB cable.
Cut and paste is old news for a jailbroken iPhone. But that popup interface and shake-to-cancel? Only Apple can think of that!
And my thoughts on the other features:
- Search: I’m happy with QuickGold ;)
- Landscape: should be good for others but I can already type fast with the default portrait-orientation.
- MMS: too bad my 4GB iPhone classic can’t take advantage of this. But hey, email still works great for me. (Or the post-direct-to-Tumblr/Flickr options).
- Push: MobileMe sync works so well for me. Glad to know that this will be improved on.
- No video yet? I think I’ll stay with Cycorder…
For iPhone owners, it just keeps getting better. When iPhone OS 3.0 arrives this summer, it will introduce over 100 new features, including the ability to:
Search your iPhone
Cut, copy, and paste
Send photos, contacts, audio files, and location via MMS
Read and compose email and text messages in landscape
This is my current lockscreen.
I had to combine html code from Calendar lockscreen to Doublebar lockscreen’s code. (I was surprised that the lockscreen is a webpage.). There’s one small problem… the date and day text will show *on* the battery image when charging.
Cyberduck was used to send and retrieve the files.
Here’s something for your Mobipocket format ebooks.
Also, if you have multiformat ebooks at your Fictionwise library, just choose “Kindle Compatible (MOBI),” download your ebook and proceed as outlined below…
If your iPhone is jailbroken, you can add any book that is in Mobipocket’s PRC format to Kindle.app.
The file needs to be placed in Kindle’s eBooks folder, which is found in /var » mobile » Applications » random_hash_number » Documents » eBooks. You’ll have to find out what your Kindle.app’s hash is by comparing it to the date you installed the application.

Yup, it was too good to be true. RipDev would need to explain a lot of things. It’s a sneaky way to charge for jailbreaking.

As I’ve posted in my update, looks like there’s still some jailbreaking happening in the background.
