CyDelete: Gives Cydia an AppStore Facelift

Posted in Apps, How-To, Reviews by meebz. Published March 25th, 2009

Dustin Howett releases CyDelete, a Cydia add-on that streamlines the removal process of third party apps on your iPhone.

PineApple iPhone

Removing an application from Cydia use to be a 6-part process.
1. Open Cydia
2. Go to Manage
3. Find your App
4. Click Modify
5. Click Remove
6. Click Confirm

CyDelete gives Cydia the form and function of AppStore removal.
1. Hold finger on any icon
2. Wait for icons to wiggle
3. Click the “x” that appears by the app
4. Confirm delete

PineApple iPhone

This is another giant step by Cydia and its contributors to enhance the user experience on jailbroken iPhones.

CyDelete is available for download on Cydia and is highly recommended for all users.

 
 

*If you SSH’d a third-party app, the only way to remove it would be to SSH back into your iPhone and delete it.

Contract Free iPhone 3G: Comparison Shop

Posted in Accessories, Carriers, News, Unlock by meebz. Published March 21st, 2009

Validating Rumors

Beginning March 26, 2009, you can expect to see the iPhone 3G sold without a contract and still locked to everyone’s least favorite carrier, AT&T.

The contract-less iPhone 3G will be available at a $400 premium over the subsidized iPhone 3G, which requires a two year commitment to AT&T ($199/$299). The new pricing model puts the 8GB iPhone 3G at $599 and the 16GB at $699.

Not surprisingly, it is still cheaper to buy an already unlocked iPhone 3G on Craigslist or eBay.

Before rushing into AT&T next week, think about the real value of an overpriced and soon to be outdated, locked iPhone 3G.

Prospective Purchases:
For the same price as a contract-free iPhone 3G from AT&T you can get:

AT&T’s motives behind offering the iPhone 3G without a contract may center around their attempt to liquidate* the current iPhone 3G model, at a premium, before the new model is released, which as many predict, will be in June.

*AT&T’s stated motives for contract-free pricing are: to cater to customers who would like to purchase a gift, add a line or are ineligible for an upgrade.
