Jailbreak

This one is for all you jailbreakers! A nice update to Winterboard has been released in Cydia. Winterboard is the app used to set themes and changes sounds on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Skype on the iPhone is a joy to use. The current app is limited to usage over WiFi networks only, with usage over 3G requiring a jailbroken iPhone. Skype last updated us on February 3rd that a 3G version was imminent--yet it's now the end of March and we haven't heard anything from the Skype...

He always seems to pop up...

Earlier this week we setup a poll asking which smartphone would be the first to fall at the 2010 CanSecWest conference currently held in Vancouver.

My good friends over at the Apple Store recently replaced my iPhone 3GS. I was having some intermittent issues and my battery was lasting about 2 hours with minimal use. As usual, the experience was painless and I left with a new iPhone 3GS. When I got home to sync it I noticed that the...

Hey everyone, Just quick note to warn you all about the supposed jailbreak tool, Gull1hack. It is a fake. DO NOT update to an official OS 3.1.3, and try to use this jailbreak. It was just some kid, proving that he could easily gain access to your Windows PC, if he wanted to. Visiually, the...
