This could be interesting...as long as the Russian Mob stays out of it :P]]>Mar 6th 2009 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/
It might hurt App Store sales a little, but you still have to buy an iPhone to jailbreak, right?

I sold a broken iPhone for $190 on Ebay.
I've seen broken screened 4GB's go for over $200.

The amaizing thing about the iPhone is, if you unlock it, its automatically got a large residual value. And unlocking is FREE. ]]>Mar 6th 2009 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/

I myself would rather not have apple running the app store, they seem to greedy in some of their moves while doing just enough to keep the general public from getting pissed.]]>Mar 6th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/
Apple has always known that folks do it, but other then the fluff in the press a few weeks ago havent really dont anything to stop the practice.

I just wish Apple would let us use programs like Winterboard, Boss Prefs and a few others then for many of us there would be no reason to jailbreak.

Another thing is everytime Apple comes out with a firmware upgrade its a pain in the butt to re jailbreak the phone then download all your apps again from Cydia.]]>Mar 6th 2009 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/
I think Apple likes the hacking. It drives up the price of new iPhones as well as used iPhones and gives them mass appeal and residual value.

Alot of people hate AT&T but want iPhone... unlock it, put it on ebay and suddenly people are willing to pay $190 + 20 shipping for an iPhone with a cracked screen or a broken sleep button.

I broke a 4GB and tried to go for a 3G. They told me $400 and that I didn't qualify for upgrade because I bought my iPhone 4GB unlock on ebay. There is virtually no way to beat this unless you qualify for upgrade or steal one. There is no exception with an iPhone made at AT&T or Apple. If you unlock your phone and it breaks, you're out of whatever you paid and your STILL STUCK WITH AT&T's high ass bullshit prices unless you pay to terminate your contract. They've got you by the balls.

#1 you still need to BUY an iPhone to get at the unsigned apps which may not even work perfectly with your phone.

#2 Apple will not cover your insurance if you use unsigned apps. Which means people with iPhones not into hackery WON'T GO NEAR THEM and will instead continue using signed app store apps.

#3 If you damage your phone and it can't be repaired, you probably end up buying yet another one...]]>Mar 6th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/
When I bought my Touch I was expecting the App Store to make it the 2nd coming of the Newton. And what i got was an ipod that has a really great wifi browser that's awkward to type on with a few (small few) fun games. I was really hoping for themes, a full-screen keyboard, podcatcher, etc.

I bought a blackberry this week, which doesn't have an arbitrary, inconsistent app store (well, it will have a potentially well-moderated store soon, but it's optional). It has alot of what I guess I really needed, but the browser options are still a bit flaky.

.... now, how can I turn this thing into a hotpot..... ]]>Mar 6th 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/Mar 6th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/Mar 6th 2009 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/Mar 6th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/
Nope.

I'll stick with the official App Store.

Apps from the appstore are pirated the same day they are released. Sometimes within hours. Paid applications from Cydia seem to be a lot harder to crack. There are still many payed apps from Cydia that still have yet to be pirated and updates take months sometimes to get hacked. Updateds from appstore apps are pirated the same day. ]]>Mar 6th 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/cydia-developer-planning-independent-iphone-app-store-others-pl/
