How to Kill a Baby with an iPhone!

Posted in iPhone and iPod Touch News on April 25th, 2009 by porkysblog – 4 Comments

On Monday the Appstore released a new iPhone app called Baby Shaker, at $0.99 you could download the app and a picture of a baby comes up and you shake the iPhone until red X’s appear over the baby’s eyes.  As more and more people were outraged over the app Apple has pulled it off the Appstore.  The real question is how things like this get onto the Appstore, when Apple does not approve of apps you have an iPhone looking icon somewhere within the program.  Although Apple has pulled this app from the Appstore many users have already downloaded the app and have distrubuted it across the web.

Over 1 Billion iPhone Apps!

Posted in iPhone and iPod Touch News on April 23rd, 2009 by porkysblog – Be the first to comment

The iPhone Appstore has just reached over a billion apps downloaded in just around nine months.  This shows how big and popular the Appstore is for people who own iPhones and iPod Touches.  Also how fast Apple as grown as a company alone.  Not to mention this count does not include people who have downloaded cracked apps via Installous.  So in reality the number of apps download that are on the Appstore is alot bigger than one billion, but I guess they only count the legal downloads.  To learn more about Apple reaching the big 1,000,000,000 click here.

Non-Dev Team 3.0 Beta Jailbreak and New Icy(Installer 5)

Posted in iPhone and iPod Touch News on April 5th, 2009 by porkysblog – 6 Comments

Jailbreak 3.0A Russian hacker, who goes by the name Vortex, has released an unofficial Quickpwn jailbreak for firmware 3.0 beta 2.  The main thing that is different and you should take note of, is that the program Vortex has made does not install Cydia automatically it only allows you to install Icy(Installer 5), which if your not on version 3.0 you can still get via Cydia on your 2.2.1 iPhone or iPod Touch by adding the source http://apt.ripdev.com and installing Icy.  The only way to install Cydia as of now on your 3.0 jailbroken iPhone is to get the OpenSSH off of Icy and install Cydia manually.  I have been trying Icy for a little bit (have not really explored it just yet, been kind of busy), but from what I have seen it loads alot faster than Cydia does.  Will Installer take back all of its users from Cydia?  Only time can tell.

Appstore App on Cydia for Free?!

Posted in iPhone and iPod Touch News on March 25th, 2009 by porkysblog – Be the first to comment

Wolfenstein 3DID Software company has released a Appstore game called Wolfenstein 3D dor $5.  The funny thing is that the game is under a GPL or General Public License.  Which means that you can go to the Wolfenstein Site , and download the source code for the game yourself.  Zodttd who has made many games before for Cydia,  simply went to the wolfenstein site and downloaded the source code and uploaded the game to Cydia for free.  This is totally legal, being that the Wolfenstein 3D game is under the GPL.
