Since the iPhones (and their cousins iPod Touches…) were first released, one of the biggest complaints I’ve heard from those who have them (myself included) is that unlike the previous iPods Apple had released, the iPhone could not be used as a USB drive to store and transfer files. Even with the advent of jailbreaking, all of the solutions to this that I’ve found up until now have required that you have iTunes on the device- something that isn’t feasible for people like me whose work computers are solidly locked down such that iTunes cannot be installed on it (and even if it could be installed, there would be trouble if there were an audit of the computers). USB Drive from Dmytro is the first true solution to use the iPhone (or presumably a similarly jailbroken Touch) as an honest-to-goodness USB storage device.

3.1.3 Firmware is latest in the game of tennis between Apple and Jailbreakers- but the losers in the game could be those of us who have paid for jailbreak apps that we’d lose forever if Apple succeeds in eliminating Jailbreaking.

So yeah- it’s been a while since I last did one of these. Over a month, I believe. Things have been rather hectic and odd for both Kevin and I which has made keeping up with things difficult, but conveniently there was something new that came out today that I really wanted to talk about, so that means a new Super Freedom Friday post! And that super-cool addition to the jailbreak stable is called Pandora Controls. Read more »
The changes and updates coming to the iPhone with the 3.0 firmware update expected to hit in a few months have had the community (and us) abuzz about them since it was officially announced. In today’s SFF, Bob takes a look at the features announced and discovered in 3.0 vs. those available now via Jailbreak as well as some thoughts on Jailbreaking after 3.0 hits.

Though I had this all ready yesterday I didn’t get around to actually posting it… Doh. Anyway- jumping right into the fray (and delaying talking about my issues with the move from FW2.2 to FW2.2.1 for another day…), I’m going to take a look at the Jailbreak implementations of one of the features most commonly griped about being omitted from the iPhone: Copy & Paste.

So, Kevin and I were discussing what we wanted to do in the way of regular Blog posts throughout the week- we already have (hopefully from here on out) the episode and show notes on Monday, the Aftercast Tuesday with all the things that didn’t quite make the show, and Gaming Wednesdays- and I suggested that I use one of the days to blog about something a bit different but still reasonably encompassed by our purpose of discussing Apps. Specifically, applications and functions uniquely available to Jailbroken iPhones like mine. So, for the first Super Freedom Friday, I’m going to start at the very beginning (a very good place to start…) with some general information about what Jailbreaking is and isn’t and why people do it.
