Yeah, fuck that Apple interface that works so well it’s made even me consider a mac for my next desktop at home. I’d much rather have some clunky linux hack so I can say I have full control over my now crippled device. :retarded: ---

:banghead: this will in no way replace the mobile OS… just extend more functionality to the device. It’ll pretty much be the equivalent of carrying a small laptop with you in your pocket. Most people might not find a need for it, but I’m sure a lot will. You sound like a mac zealot taking about booting windows on thier precious macs lol ---

Ya watch the video. Its a bootloader that boots both. One is the Unix prompt and the other is the iPhone OS. Its more of a proof of concept that shows that we can have access and the device is somewhat like a portable computer. If they really get going on it and develop the drivers and a phone application, that would be beyond sweet but something tells me they are going to run into problems getting the iPhone Linux to interact with the baseband. I still want to see them port android over to the iPhone. Lol. ---

it should be able to. Youtube works fine over 3g (and edge for the most part), so does streaming video through [orb.com](http://orb.com) edit: just did a speed test on [testmyiphone.com](http://testmyiphone.com) over 3G and getting 1.93Mbps (236kB/s), that should be plenty ![http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6545&stc=1&d=1228234949](http://nyspeed.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6545&stc=1&d=1228234949) ---

My download speed for edge in the basement of my work is .21Mbps or 25kB/s Upload is .03Mbps or 4kB/s so either my basement sucks or 3g is super fast! ---

yup, just tap home and power at the same time. The screen will fade out to white real quick, then check your photos. It should be the last one in there. ---
