So I set went on a trip and thought I would try some tethering with my 3g iPhone. First, I must say the tethering works great. I was able to download and install iTunes on my pc at about 120KB/sec! I was thrilled. However, most places had WiFi so I did not really need to [...]

The first Cydia 2.0 game is out!
Macman is a fantastic Pacman type game but a bit different. It plays very well and makes use of the accelerometer nicely. The controls are not bad. The game is fun! Check it out!
Here is a screenshot:
Winpwn 2.0 is out. Tutorial to follow. Get it here from theiphoneproject.org on a nice, fast server.
EDIT: I planned on making a guide for this but it just crashes on the iPwner step and iTunes fails to restore the device. I have tried two computers. Many folks are having a similar issue but many are [...]
Our first apps are in our Cydia repository. Remember that we have to code and port each app so that’s why they are not all there:
BossPrefs v2.0.2a (alpha). This is the first working version for 2.0 devices. There will be some issues but the major stuff should work. The airplane / phone toggles are not [...]
