    Sonuvabitch!!!!

    I've been using wififofum since my ppc days!
    I use that app everyday. It's my #1 app.

  • I think the jailbreak community depends on only one thing and that's jailbroken iPhones And as of today my 3.1.2 failed and I was forced to update. After checking all information there is no 3.1.3 avalible and without this JB And people like geohot moving onto other things the community will fail. I think we need to pay the people that jailbreak the phone a percentage of the sale price of the apps so if you buy a $10 app and you JB with blackra1n then geohot gets say $1, this would insure the community grows and continues to function, I know I'm glad I didn't buy any apps because now they would be useless.

    Maybe it's an inside conspiracy where someone towards the top of the Appstore management team is secretly driving developers towards Cydia (or Android!!
    A Google spy!!!! ;-)

    Hi jordandev, I am oneof those whose jb was lost when my phone locked up and I was forced to upgrade to 3.1.3. I'd be very interested to know if there's a way to downgrade to 3.1.2. Please tell me how. It will be greatly appreciated.
