Jailbreak the iPhone

Written by randem Add Comments

Okay, so I’ve had the iPhone for about two weeks now, and I’ve been a bit lazy about doing the Jailbreak because I had so much trouble getting my iPhone activated. I didn’t want to be sitting at work wasting a bunch of the company’s time while I attempt to hack it.

Fortunately, both Lifehacker and Make were spreading the word Monday about the new, easy, one-touch Jailbreak you can do right from your iPhone without ever needing to connect to a PC.

I tried it a few times over the course of the day yesterday, with no luck. It appears that the EDGE network is preventing this from going through. However, when I was in range of a WiFi network, I tried it one more time and it worked like a charm!

AppSnapp Installer

So far, I’ve used the installer app to add a GPS locator but that’s all. I know there are a lot more things I can do, I just need to figure them out. All the same, thumbs up to the AppSnapp guys for making this so easy!

A reader wrote in yesterday to point out that I actually predicted the iPhone two years ago.

I bought my first iPod on Thursday, June 9, 2005. The following day, I wrote this:

The real magic is the iPod itself, though. I couldn’t understand what was such a big deal about iPod when reading reviews, but after having it in my hand for five minutes everything was clear. This really is one ingeniously designed technological wonder. I wish Apple would make cell phones. And tv sets. And cars.

And apparently I wasn’t far off with my next comment, about tv sets, given my positive experience when I first looked at Apple TV.
