"With the SDK coming out (hopefully) soon, is there really any point to jailbreaking it now? What can you do with a jailbroken phone that you won't be able to do with a clean one in about 2 weeks? or is it just for people that don't want to wait? 2/14/2008 11:46:36 AM"

still no SDK, and it sounds like its going to be released in pre-beta whatever that means. and the applications will in fact by hand picked by apple and distributed through itunes...which means i'm gonna keep jailbreaking so i can run whatever i want.

I love how these tools undermine the significance of their own launch events by wearing jeans.

3/6/2008 2:00:41 PM

theyre hippies. jeans are like black tie to them.

true story. i visited apple's headquarters at 1 infinity loop one normal workday. got there around lunch i guess, and after coming through the main reception area you come into like a massive courtyard, which had a bunch of volleyball games going on...played by long haired hippies who had their birkenstocks strewn around the outside of each court. really cool place though, by far the best cafeteria i've ever eaten at. most the people were really cool, but at times i felt like i had just walked into a scientology convention or something. i didn't drink the kool aid, but i did end up buying an iphone

3/6/2008 2:07:13 PM

june!? wtf they said february

3/6/2008 2:13:19 PM

ok so i was just about to post how theres no way i'll pay $ for iphone applications (after being a jailbreaker and getting all the open source/freeware stuff for free)

but i'll lay down some $$$ for supermoneyball on my iphone. plz to release

"We're going to ship this to every iPhone customer in June"

i call BULLSHIT

Quote :

"We think a lot of people will want to become an iPhone developer -- go to our site, probably in about an hour, and download the SDK. You can join the developer program to test your app on the iPhone and iPod touch and distribute your app -- to join the dev program costs just $99. If you have any questions about anything give us a ping at developer.apple.com." Irony: someone's Windows Mobile phone just went off."

a) so they're charging $99 to distribute apps thru the "App Store." I don't think they care about the money, they just want to keep the riffraff out...aka all the free applications that they won't make any money on.

b) i hate it when people say "give me a ping." it seems like old dudes who are always doing that crap.

3/6/2008 3:09:49 PM

what do you guys think would be the easiest way to get a 4gb iphone at the moment? I really just don't think I wanna drop $400 on a new 8gb, but could consider it...any ways around this? other than egay?

3/10/2008 5:17:14 PM

could get a refurb 8GB for $350

3/10/2008 5:22:50 PM

^^buy my busted up 4gb

3/10/2008 5:57:15 PM

Last I saw, I thought the 8gbs were now $300.

3/10/2008 7:53:42 PM

^ i'm curious where you saw that, since the 8gbs have always been $400. the 16gbs are 16gb. if i had to buy again id get the refurb for $350

^^yes tww, even i am fallible. thank you for bringing it to my attention.

16gb = $500

I was pointing out my tiredness, not your mistake so much.

Uh, so here's something to add to the discussion while I'm here ... the iPhone won't be 16gb forever.

"The company promised SATA-II SSDs in the 1.8" and 2.5" sizes with capacities up to 160GB, with read and write speeds exceeding Samsung's 100MB/s and 70MB/s, respectively. Best of all, Intel says its goal is to drive down the currently exorbitant prices of solid-state storage to something less punitive, predicting two subsequent 50% drops in 2009 and 2010."

i wish you could do default area codes. i hate having to dial it every time. i was thinking that someone had written a hack/setting for the iphone (judging by all the other crap they've written) but i cant find one ;(

3/11/2008 7:27:19 PM

I JUST WANT FREAKING MULTIMEDIA MESSAGING

IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK??!??

3/11/2008 7:46:58 PM

^^Yeah, having to type in 3 extra numbers every time I make a phone call just ruins my day too.

3/11/2008 9:15:56 PM

I mean between syncing contacts from my computer, dialing numbers from webpages, recent calls, etc

when do you really ever dial the phone number

3/11/2008 9:32:30 PM

Exactly. I probably dial 3 numbers over the course of a week I'd say.

2.0 firmware has already been broken...3 months before it gets released.

http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/11/iphone-dev-team-jailbreaks-firmware-2-0-before-its-out/

This confirms that you'll be able to get official apps from the itunes store and keep all the cool stuff that you already have from jailbreaking it.

3/12/2008 8:12:01 AM

i'm running 1.1.3 jailbroken...and i didn't think you could upgrade to 1.1.4 (or 2.0 later) without having to reinstall all your applications. anyone know if that's true or not?

3/12/2008 8:15:12 AM

Everything I've read says that's the case.

3/12/2008 8:19:25 AM

yeah thats what i thought too. 1.1.4 doesn't seem to have very many new features, so i'll probably just wait for 2.0

3/12/2008 8:46:09 AM

So who in the Raleigh area on here actually has an iPhone? before I commit to buying one I want to check one out.

3/12/2008 9:47:03 AM

i hear they have them on display at the apple store

3/12/2008 9:49:30 AM

so you're polling strangers to see who you can meet up with to play with their phone?

just go to one of the Apple Stores. we have 2 in the area. You can play with it all you want, make phone calls and everything

3/12/2008 9:49:36 AM

^ good point.. there are some rather strange people on here..



I'd rather meet up with someone that actually has one that I can hold.. get the feeling of it. I'd rather not go into the store as they'll try to sell you a bunch of shit.


Have you not meet anyone on here to sell something or buy something? Basically the same thing.

not even close.

just go to the store, ignore the emos

3/12/2008 10:01:57 AM

So what if they try to sell you something? You're in there to demo the product, ignore them if you don't want to listen.

Of course, once you actually use one, you won't be able to not buy one if you have the money for it.

no, they don't.. quit being ignorant and go to the fucking store, this isn't a normal at&t store with people trying to shove phones down your throat.
