iPhone: Jailbroken


It was just over a year ago that I broke down and got the iPhone. Well, last night I broke down once again and decided to finally jailbreak my iPhone. I hadn't done it before because the process was a bit more time consuming, but not anymore. I used blackra1n to jailbreak it, and it took all of maybe 3 minutes. It's also safe to say it's been a total productivity killer today at work. All I've been doing is playing with all the new features you can install and customize. So far I've changed the system font a couple times, changed my text message tone to Barney Stinson saying "Suit Up!" and my email notification now has David Letterman telling me "Hey there Skippy, you've got mail!"

I've also added folders so that I can keep my various types of apps organized, which is great because now I don't have to flip through 6 pages of apps to get to one at the end. Also, as you can see in the photos, I changed the background from plain black behind the apps to a video clips from the movie 'Cars' -- pretty crazy. Anyway, there's a lot more to be done, and I'm only scratching the tip of the iceberg in terms of what the phone is capable of now. Here's a couple screen shots:

Sometimes your posts go over my head :) I have NO idea what "jailbreaking" is.

But I'm glad your phone is cooler now!
