For all you Apple lovers with both an iPhone and iPod Touch, the following news might be important to you: the iPod Touch 2nd generation now can be jailbroken like an iPhone.

The iPhone's touchscreen keyboard is one of the best in the business. Compare it to similar touchscreens and you'll quickly realize they don't even come close (yes, I'm talking to YOU, Blackberry Storm). The iPhone keyboard cannot be mastered in one day. Give it a week and you'll be typing like a pro in no...

Hey everyone happy Saturday! Today I'm going to talk about the recent update to xGPS, which was released earlier this week. I was going to post about it earlier but I wanted to actually test it while driving in my car. xGPS is only available for jailbroken iPhones and it is a free turn-by-turn GPS...

For those with jailbroken iPhones, Cydia is the place where you can download 3rd party applications that don't make it into the App Store. Such applications like QIK, PDAnet, Cycorder, Snapture, Winterboard, Clippy, and more. Most applications are free in Cydia, but some can be purchased via PayPal. Well, that process for getting paid apps...
