I regularly see people ask “why should I jailbreak?” I have only three reasons. At the top of the list is a Cydia app called BiteSMS. The few times I’ve gone back to a stock iPhone, this is the single thing I’ve missed. BiteSMS provides the kind of features that Apple should have given us from the start. Before delving into the features I will mention the only thing I dislike about BiteSMS – and it’s not the $8.99 price. After the trial period expires, BiteSMS will remain functional, but annoy you with ads. I’m very happy to support the developers bringing me apps to make my life...

Since the Spirit jailbreak was released 2 short weeks ago, I have had a great time jailbreaking other people's iPhones.

I have then been amused as, with few exceptions, they look at their newly jailbroken...
