THE **iPhone** Thread (GPS, JailBreak, Apps, Etc)

I haven’t downloaded any paid ones yet. The free ones I use a lot:

Weatherbug
AIM
Pandora
Sportstap (nice little live sports scores app)
Shazam (identifies music by listening to it for 8 seconds)
YPMobile (yellow pages mobile, just seems to work better than searching on google maps)
MyLite (a stupid app that turns the screen all white to work as a flashlight. Yes, it’s dumb, but I’ve used it twice since I installed it).

I’m anxiously awaiting this one that will be great on the boat:

I’m sure there are a bunch of other cool apps I just haven’t spent much time looking for them.

Apple says turn-by-turn GPS coming to iPhone, copy / paste not a high priority

Looks like Kevin is going to need a new reason to keep him from coming to the dark side.

Come on man, drink the kool-aid… its’ good. :slight_smile:

^ that’s clenched it. I’ll be buying one within the next couple weeks for sure.

no. I have plenty :slight_smile:

Little more info there.

Amen. Thats why I am waiting for the jailbreak to produce some solid 2.0 apps since apple’s SDK wont allow the apps to change the phone, run in the background, or a bunch of other things.

Pandora and Weather Bug are great. Pandora burns the battery up in a few hours so I only use it if I have a charger close by and WeatherBug has radar which is great to determine the storms in the area when out riding.

I also just love having a real web browser to actually view normal web pages and not a formatted for phone version.

iweathr.com radar >>>>>>> weatherbug radar.

Animated map > stationary map.

I use that one so much I actually put a shortcut to it on the first page of my apps screen.

Update:

Jailbreak is worth it. Free Apps! I got eWallet, Monkey Ball, 300 Bowling, Holdem, and more!

nice… actually, doing it now

Uh, how?

Flash your firmware to the jailbroken 2.0. Install OpenSSh and you need to replace a file with one in the package and then you can install the games included with iTunes.

Uh, hard?

How to?

Boxxa?

Impossible from everything I have read with the locking of it and ATTs policy with it having to be activated in store. I am going international in the next few months and will need to look at it but as far as I know, ATT has a prevented it from being unlocked and sold for other providers.

usenet and downloaded the packages. its 447MB extracted. includes a bunch of games and files to copy to your iphone. needs to be jailbroken first tho so you can SSH to your phone.

Any way of getting this from you? My phone’s jailbroken and has OpenSSH installed.

Edit: Scratch that. Found two packs on Demonoid.

edit: n/m

Here is a link about how to do it with some download links for games. There was one more file I needed from a package I downloaded but I do not know if its required with this method.

That marine chartplotter app inavx that I wanted is out now but it’s $49.99. :tif:

Don’t think I want it that bad. Google maps really needs to add off road waypoints.
