Have the Swiss Army broken into jailbreaking your iPhone?
Seven dollars (USD $7) is the price you need to pay to free your iPhone without apparently “jailbreaking” it. This is the price of software that will allow you to download iPhone apps on your computer, and transfer them to your device with an iTunes-like interface, without pushing you into deep geek territory.
This is the exciting claim that comes with Swiss developer Ripdev’s release of InstallerApp and it seems likely to be a huge hit. It’s a Mac app (but coming soon for Windows) with “Pusher” software, that RipDev says can install Installer.app on your iPhone without “jailbreaking” it, so you can use Apple’s approved AppStore, alongside InstallerApp simultaneously.
The app supports Cydia, a popular installer for jailbroken iPhones, but does so, according to Ripdev, without making a mess of your iPhone’s file system or replacing any system libraries, as Cydia does, and you need Intel processor and OS X 10.5 Leopard or above. InstallerApp supports first generation iPhone and iPhone 3G, but not iPod touch as yet.
One $7 license lets you sync up to three iPhones and gives you access to free updates and email tech support for one year, and Ripdev even promises to support iPhone 3.0 shortly after the new software is released and jailbroken.
