Your IT - Mobility

A great example of unauthorised apps comes from Lifehacker in the US, whose article “iPhone 2.0 Jailbreak Apps You Can't Find in the iTunes Store” talks about, well, just that, and in detail, too.

They talk about the NES emulator, MXtube to download YouTube videos to watch offline, software to re-skin the iPhone’s icons and backgrounds, cheaper text messaging with BiteSMS (although the AIM Instant Messenger is supposed to you send text messages free, worldwide), Bossprefs to remove icons you don’t want to have appearing, a real text editor, the ability to use OpenSSH to connect to your device and more

Whether you jailbreak or not is up to you, but you should be aware that it’s not recommended by Apple, it could potentially “brick” your phone (at least temporarily) and it requires at least a tiny bit of technical knowledge.

After all, if you’re not successful in jailbreaking your iPhone, Apple “Genius Bar” employees aren’t likely to help you.

But there is plenty of info on the web, and thousands (if not hundreds of thousands or even millions) have done it, and are enjoying the full, unrestricted, unauthorised Apple iPhone and iPod Touch experience.

Just as there are many people who have hacked into the Apple TVs, PSPs and other devices!
