Words From The Ether

I finally gave in to the temptation and jailbraked (or pwned, if you prefer) my iPhone a couple days ago. It was so worth it. Foremost among the plethora of new features my phone now has are the ability to record video and the ability to sync its calendar with my Google Apps (gmail) calendar. These things were major shortcomings of the iPhone, and now they’re all better! (No thanks to Apple). I can also now send and receive multimedia SMS messages such as picture mail. I highly reccommend QuickPwn (I will update with a link soon) for Jailbreaking your iPhone; it was a clear, uncomplicated process that took less than 30 minutes start to finish.

I’m actually writing this entry in WordPress on the iPhone (not an app that requires jailbreaking). So, I don’t feel like typing much more at the moment. I’ll probably post screenshots of my phone once I get it tricked out just the way I like. In the meantime, here’s a self-portrait I took with a app called Snapture (jailbreak required) that packs a lot more features than Apple’s bare-bones built-in camera.
