i do have winterboard installed. with themes etc and no issues
 
If I download iPhone firmware outside of itunes.. can I restore/update my iPhone using the external download ipsw file? I heard something about "Shift+restore button" ?
Thanks
 
The kindle rotation inhibitor or screen lock is brilliant, Apple should copy this into their apps like safari.

That said dev-team are like commies, the reject donations and are anti commercial advertising :D

I use stanza, it also has the rotation inhibitor and it can read MS LIt files - I have hundreds of LIT novels. And its free aswell.
 
I just uninstalled iREALSMS (what a crap app) and installed biteSMS 4.2. It seems to work much better, for one it removes the badge from the icon after i read the sms, which iREALSMS didnt do...

Ive read that you can compose mms'e with biteSMS, but where on earth do you compose?

I have been using stanza since it's been released, it is great but since I finished all my books with it I gave kindle a shot and love it, whispersync is sweet.
 
they must jailbreak 3.1 already! I dont want to get my iPhone, put on 3.0.1 then in 3 days have to reformat to 3.1 (I want 3.1 as it allows some extra stuff for 3GS Vid cam!)

I will definitely look into it - just want to finish my James Patterson novels. Can U use kindle with other formats as well and does it sync with USB or must it be wireless..

The Kindle App syncs with the books bought from amazon with your amazon account, so it's only kindle books.

The samples are great, you get to read the first chapter of any book and Amazon also have free books you can download.

Just create an amazon account and you're set.

Have you found a way to actually buy books from the Kindle store? I've tried the gift certificate route and that didn't work :(

Maybe it's because the account I have is a US account, I registered it with my myUS address, when I purchase gadgets etc. from Amazon they ship to SA for me.

Creating a US Amazon account is as easy as creating a US iTunes account.
If you have a US iTunes account then try and create an amazon account with the same details.
