Hacking your Iphone

IOS 5 is now hackable, and there is a store to buy apps called Cydia..

The highlighs for me are the tvout app that will mirror your screen for pre-iphone 4s phones

and WiFiFoFum which is a war driving app to find wireless access points.

is one of my favorite plain jane radar apps
