I don't actually own an iPad yet but seeing these apps makes me want one even more! I think I may wait for the 2nd/3rd generation to come out... (If i can wait that long!)It's amazing just how much you can do, I currently have an iPhone and have the wordpress app which is really useful for keeping up to date with all my clients blogs.From an iPad point of view the Gusto app and adobe ideas seem like they would be the most useful!Thanks for sharing

I was having trouble with my relationship a few years back. A friend forwarded me an ebook by a famous relationship expert named Michael Web. His book saved me. It helped be diagnose the big problem in our relationship. Identified our lifestyle problems. We simply worked too much and didn't have time for each other, as a result no sex, frustration...And on down the slippery slope we went. Turns out things like sexuality is a pattern, something that needs to happen on an ongoing basis or else other things will crowd it out. It's about behaving your way to success. Like the old adage: Use it or lose it. These simple things I learned from the book and how to correct the problems in my relationship. You might want to take a look yourself if you really want to win her back.

hmmmmm tempting, but on such an expensive contract, I don't think it's worth the risk.

I just installed backgrounder. Works great. I like it because I have some streaming radio apps, that always closed when exited. Now its great. I want to install Intelliscreen but too many problems.

i think game emulators such as snes4iphone should be in the list. Great to be able to play classic games like Mario.

Sweet blog. I never know what I am going to come across next. I think you should do more posting as you have some pretty intelligent stuff to say.

I'll be watching you .

Just how is jailbreaking your iPhone in anyway equivalent to piracy? Stop insisting this.

Jailbreak simply means you are able to run open source, community developed or homebrew software. It takes away Apple's strangle hold on the device.

I think you mean the app sbsettings (short for spring board settings). You swipe your finger accross the top of the screen for quick access to thinks like 3G, WiFi, Brightness etc...

Take a look in cydia.

Enjoy!!

I like the idea of getting out of the box i.e. jail break and I did it. But I restored my phone because I had to pay for third party apps. Can you tell me if this is true of the apps you are describing??

"Jailbreaking (Getting laid) for my iPhone has made it so much more of a unique and powerful device way ahead of its time!"

-- Mr.EClass

Many cell phones, including old ones you had in the past, had amazing capabilities, IF there were gifted people with a lot of time to make those things available to you. We are all lucky for the nerds who are developing and supporting this. IPhone isn't ahead of it's time, but these apps and capabilities are novel because no cell phone service provider, OR phone manufacturer would ever release them. It hurts the bottom line. I can tether my Iphone to my laptop using jailbreak. Sprint charges 30 bucks a month for that, AT&T close to 50. Get my drift? Thats just one example. I believe in the freedom to use the devices you legally purchased anyway you choose, but when you start using them in connection with services you don't or can't pay for, then were all kind of stealing in the end. I hacked mine, because I wanted to drop the 50$ fee from AT&T for my USB 3G card. In today's economy that 50$ is not like it was 3 or 5 years ago. I'd feel better though, if AT&T would let me use the phone this way legally for 20$ a month. Apple doesn't really care how you use the device, but on the other hand, they can't break contracts with AT&T, or cause problems with them. It could cost them a fortune, and AT&T probably paid for 80% of your cell phone's actual cost through subsidizing.

@christomapher yes it does you just need to look at the icons available for your theme and then make the folder with categories to have the same name as the icon listed in your theme.

I jailbroke my 3G, installed Winterboard, Categories, BossPref - and everything works fine.

Blacklist is the BEST APP - no more annoying telemarketers - EVER!!!

Initially I was blown away with winterboard but noticed that my iphone seemed "slower" so I did a side by side comparison with my wife's iphone (she won't let me touch it to jailbreak it) and noticed that my iphone was slower. Settings, mail, facebook, etc all took a couple of extra seconds to load (2~5 seconds more)... doesn't sound like a lot but it does break the flow and is definitely noticeable. I unloaded winterboard and it's back to normal... additional app that I would add to the app is pdanet or imodem that allows you tether your iphone.

@Sonu, hmmm no... besides our article is must more detailed than just listing a few apps.

Recently I have been on iDay.ca's website and he's been teaching us online user many new things bout our iPhones. I used to check your website every other day or so but now I like to check iDay.ca first just to make sure that his site does not have something new which you guys dont have either. Maybe you guys should have him join with you guys to make a kick ass new blog with more info bout my iPhone and the things that I can do with it.

By: Sonu

Sonu — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:58:59 +0000

Just wanted to find out, why did it take you guys this long to put these apps up. Some no name blog iDay.ca had his list up three days before yours. Just wondering did you guys decide to put up this list after finding out that someone else thought of this first.

@Christomapher I would like to say that the categories options or folders do in fact use the theme you have set on your iphone at the time of set up. You simply have to go in and set it to the theme you so choose to use for that folder! Its pretty sweet. Lets say I have um...gradiance v2 on for my main theme, I can set oh...buuf2 on that folder, and classica on another. I don't care for the style of the folders sometimes, or the way they are set up per say...But I am so anal about my icons and themes matching up, that I kinda have to use and suck up my little complaints or gripes.

I haven't had probs with Winterboard and Intelliscreen.

By: Jeremy Sikora

Jeremy Sikora — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 19:26:40 +0000

Just a reminder to everyone, jailbreaking and jailbroken apps are never a certain thing. I tested each app and did not have any major issues.

By: Christomapher

Christomapher — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 19:16:16 +0000

Categories causes the phone to be unstable and doesn't utilize winterboard-style themes or icons. Intelliscreen caused my phone to get stuck at the apple screen with the springboard constantly restarting. I actually had to restore my phone because of intelliscreen and if you look in forums, you'll see lots of people having these issues.

Mobile stack is great except that it loses my ipod icon... anyone know how to get it back??

By: Sayam

Sayam — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 19:00:50 +0000

Damn! Where is MobileStack? It's better than categories (especially the one for 2.0)

By: Jeremy Sikora

Jeremy Sikora — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 17:24:56 +0000

All of the mentioned apps run smoothly for me.

don't know about you guys, but categories and backgrounder make my 3g slow and unstable.

Also the Cycorder(camcorder), dtunes (allows you to download any song directly onto your phone FREE, and mixtube which allows you to stream and download all clips from youtube, youporn, clips, etc etc...

By: hotrod

hotrod — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:57:24 +0000

Do you have all those running on your iPhone? In the past I had problems with Intelliscreen and Winterboard together. I haven't taken the chance to add Winterboard back into the mix yet. So far I'm happy with just IS.

Paul Arterburn — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:55:14 +0000

I would add to this list QuickGold...it's a finder for the phone. Replaces Google's free app & has replaced using Categories as it's easier to just search for apps than to browse.
