Cylay

I suppose to start off one of the best jailbroken apps I have come across is a security app called cylay. It offers all the features that were offered with mobileme when it was first launched and some!

Probably one of the most impressive and frightening features is the ability to take a picture from either camera on the phone without alerting whomever is using the phone that a photo has been taken. This has obvious security benifits and is generally awesome. There are a range of other features such as preventing shutdown which makes the phone mimic being turned off, sms forwarding and the ability to back up all data on the phone, obviously tracking the phone aswell asa range of other features.

This app works on a subscription basis with the user needing to log onto www.cylay.com and paying an annual subscription of $20.00. For the security it provides $20.00 is well worth the piece of mind in my opinion.

Hello World!

The title seems a bit fitting since this is my first attempt at a blog, I have been an iPhone user since day one basically. I got the first iPhone in America and as a result when I came home to Ireland I was unable to use it as a phone as it was network locked. This was obviously not ideal but I was still in awe of the technology I was now the proud owner of, back then the IOS experience wasn't as vibrant and as varied as it is now and touch screen phones were unheard of. 

                Waiting patiently for a solution to my network problem, progress had started to be made on extending the capabilities of the iPhone beyond the stock features. It was through this progress that my phone was given its freedom as I used a program to unlock the baseband and allow me the freedom to choose networks. This was the start of my love for jailbreaking and where unlocking the phone was my main reason for it, it was the possibilities that releasing the shackles apple had on my phone that has kept my IOS devices jailbroken since that moment.

               The jailbroken IOS experience adds many more features and possibilities to the IOS device, these tweaks as they're called are features on my iDevices that I could not live without. I will be explaining some of these tweaks and why I love them so much in the coming weeks, but there are huge amounts tweaks out there so to you I would just say "get jailbreaking!!!!!".
