Evening Reading
- I'm heading the the opera, as such I am far too sophisticated of a person to dilly dally around with silly news items on the internet that are not related to global finance or horse breeding. I can not imagine that you are nearly the sophisticate that I am though, so perhaps you and your inbred middle class Volvo driving friends can find your "kicks" staring at Zombo for 10 minutes.
As for the the videogame news around these parts:
- GameStop on the PC games sales market
- GRID DLC is on the way
- Maxis addressing Spore accounts
- The Witcher patches galore
- New Metal Gear Solid unveiled
- Activision suing gamers
- Guitar Hero is NOT being milked!
- LittleBigPlanet hits October 21
- Rock Band DLC update
- Skate 2 screenshots
- EA revamping Spore & Crysis Warhead DRM
- Castlevania screenshots
- Far Cry 2 multiplayer details
Lastly, as everyone around here knows the videogame market is pretty much determined by the whims of Maarten and I. As such I would advise you to always keep an eye on the latest Gibson-Goldstein index!

2.1 is a goddamn dream just from the performance hike alone.

Nope. Everything's there, and even if it wasn't, you could just restore from a backup and get it all back.
-
Not if you do it the quickpwn way.
Before you do anything, backup your data by connecting the iphone to itunes, and Right mouse click on the iphone icon to select Backup.
If your iphone is already jailbroken, you can use iphonenotes to do a backup, but you need to have ssh running. Very good app.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27064/iphonenotes-
or iphonelist, doesn't require ssh and works over the data cable, but you have to find and copy the files off manually http://code.google.com/p/iphonelist/

Don't do a full restore, just upgrade to 2.1 normally. If you're using an unlocked 2g iPhone, it'll stay unlocked (you just lose the jailbreak). After upgrading, run QuickPwn. No data is lost, the whole thing takes maybe 10 minutes, tops. Just in case, though, you may want to sync beforehand so you have a fresh backup ready in the unlikely event that something fucks up.

I'd say WinterBoard and BossPrefs are musts. I know a lot of people who rave about IntelliScreen (which you have to pay for, though there is a demo). Poke around on Cydia, see if anything looks interesting. There's really no real drawback to jailbreaking (unless you somehow manage to fuck something up along the way, but that takes some effort), but the benefits kid of depend on what you personally find useful/neat.

You never leave 2.1, really. A full restore will eliminate the jailbreak, though.

BossPrefs, IntelliScreen, custom SMS tones, unlocking an iPhone 2G for use on T-Mobile/other carriers, bunch of other little stuff.

The app store has an SSH client. Jailbreak has an SSH server, meaning you can SSH into the phone and do whatever. You can't do that w/ any app store apps.
I don't even use Winterboard, I use a ton of other stuff. BossPrefs, WiFi Toggle, Poof, a flashlight that can actually light the screen up, disabling Apple's remote kill switch, configuring the double tap home action to do whatever I want (instead of apple's insufficient list), changing out icons to get rid of the ugly-ass YouTube icon, games not in the app store, NES emulator, Quake...
You get the idea.-
I'd love to hear why you would possibly want to SSH into your phone...

It used to be one of the only ways of getting apps onto your phone. Nowadays, I mostly just use it for stuff like replacing UI sounds (I've got the MGS "!" as my SMS alert right now).

Which Appstore SSH do you use? some of them look like shit/ crappy functionality
-
-
-
no it doesn't
-

Yep using Quickpwn this time instead of Pwnage. Worked like a charm and was easy as pie.

If I had a 3G iphone I'd probably Jailbreak it for tethering, but since I'm a generation behind It's really not worth it.

Free internet for T-mobile iphone users: set your APN to epc.tmobile.com
This works for t-zone users and even tmobile-to-go users, just un-install T-zone hack and set the APN. Don't know how long it's going to last. Supposedly lasted a few months last year. -
HIJACK: I upgraded to 2.1 from fully jailbroken/unlocked/activated phone. Now I'm running fine on 2.1 but it's no longer Jailbroken. My apps still show Installer & Cydia though installed. I can run them. How do I uninstall these? I don't want to screw up my phone by accident.

Here's the theme I use: http://www.shackpics.com/files/ipod_6lmhhgwbz9dgbjeeo5yr.jpg
