iPhone Jailbreak Update

by curious on Sep.21, 2009, under ~Other

Currently have an iPhone 3GS running 3.0. It is running 3.0 because there is currently not a jailbreak for 3.1 on 3GS. I’m seriously thinking about  I really want Snapture via AppStore and it’s only $1.99 there, but requires 3.1. More apps are destined to be 3.1 only due to features of the API.

Why I’m still jailbroken:

  • Disable shutter sound (yes, turning off ringer, turns off sounds. But, I keep forgetting to turn it back on) Snapture, a 3.1 apps supposedly eliminates this issue though.
  • Ability to quickly toggle Wifi/3G/etc
  • Being able to broadcast video live from iPhone (doubt I’ll ever use this feature, but I’d love to have it)
  • Being able to ssh/scp to/from iphone
  • Being able to theme the iPhone

The other issue is that if I ever need to restore the phone, Apple only permits restores of 3.1.

F’ it. Here I go.
