To Jailbreak or not to Jailbreak? That is the question plaguing the minds of every new iPhone user. Do I stay within the death clutches

 of Steve Jobs’ Apple reign, or void (temporarily) my warranty and venture into the deep, deep abyss that is the world of Cydia repo’s, 

basking in the world of iOS customization, unlocking (if baseband permits), and yes, free apps.  Regardless of which category you fall 

into, a new site exists courtesy of our trusting friends on the ChronicDev team. They have taken the liberty to throw-up a super 

bare-boned website, which will guide you on your way  to jailbreaking haven, whether you are a noob or all out fan-boy.

So check out Jailbrea.kr and liberate away!

*** Please make sure you back up your iPhone and fully read and understand instructions before attempting to Jailbreak. 

TheCellularGuru.com and Toronto Wireless will not be held responsible for any iPhone damaged, bricked, or otherwise rendered
useless in the process of completing the Jailbreak ***

Cydia App Store coming to Macs “within weeks”

If your iPhone is jailbroken, you may’ve heard of Jay “saurik” Freeman. If not – you should know he’s the main brain behind the popular Cydia app store where folks who want more from their iDevices go for the latest apps and iOS modifications that don’t sing along Apple’s iOS development policies.

Well, Jay said that Mac users will get their Cydia store “within weeks,” too. Speaking at the 360|MacDev, he bashed Apple for all the iOS restrictions imposed by the company, going further to foresee that many of the restrictions will move to the Mac App Store.

As part of the plan to deliver Cydia on desktops and laptops, Freeman created a new version of MobileSubstrate called “CydiaSubstrate,” which can run on both iOS and Mac OS. He said: “Just like you can make all these modifications on the iPhone, you can make these same modifications on the desktop. Until now, there has never been a way to easily install modifications to the system or third-party applications, as well as keep them updated.”

We can only hope he’s wrong, but something tells me he’s right on target… In the meantime, developers interested in getting their products into Mac Cydia were told to email patrick at saurikit.com for further details.
