Unlocking the iPhone
Posted by samc on August 21st, 2007
If you're an iPhone owner (and perhaps even if you're not), chances are you've at least kept an eye on iPhone hacks like the Turbo SIM unlock, as well as on application development progress. Perhaps you've gotten a few hacks working, or maybe you'd like to do more with your iPhone but get scared off by lots of command line mumbo-jumbo. No matter what group you fall into, improved tools like Installer.app and a slew of iPhone hacking guides will get your feet wet and allow you to do some more advanced tricks, all in no time flat.
Installer.app is a UIKit package manager for the iPhone, and is designed to let users easily download third-party iPhone apps over EDGE or WiFi. You can jailbreak your iPhone and install the package manager with only one command, which makes this a good choice of hack for people who want cool applications without much fuss. It's a beautifully simple tool, but if you haven't played with the command line much, I'd recommend following Gizmodo's detailed instructions to get up and running with Installer.app.
