Awesome iPhone Stuff

In Gadgets

This past weekend the iPhone Dev Team released software that removes Apple's restrictions. Here are a few things I've got going on it that I wouldn't otherwise be allowed to have on my phone:

That's right, there's an NES emulator for iPhone. I also downloaded all 700 United States NES games and uploaded them to my phone. As you can see, you have to touch the screen for the controller, which is not the most responsive thing ever. Nonetheless, it's kind of cool to have every NES game ever made on my phone.


Little did I know, the iPhone has a full Unix system running on it. If you remove Apple's restrictions, you can get at your phone's full features. Here, I've logged in remotely to the server that hosts this website.


Lastly, I wanted to make some custom sounds for alarms. Apple of course wants you to pay $1 each for them. Hell. No. Here, you can see my new wake up alarm, courtesy of The Shins. See if you can also spot custom sounds on this list by Pink Floyd, Pink Martini, and I Heart Huckabees.

Oh, if you decide to use the iPhone Dev Team's software, you should change your iPhone's root password.
