It will only be a matter of time before someone figures out how to break the new encryption and get our 3rd party apps [...]
iPhone: Brief Reviews of ApolloIM, MobileChat, Summerboard, MobileTwitterific, Mines, iBlackjack, and MobileToDoList




(No Ratings Yet)It’s nice that, for now, Apple seems to be “okay” with allowing third-party applications to be installed on the iPhone (although now there seems to be some backtracking by Apple with a new statement that “software updates will most likely break” native apps).

- @ajmckee Thanks for pointing that out. Just to let you know, we have changed some of our support procedures and timings. Should improve more about 6 hours ago from twhirl
- Just spent two hours with my kids in an inflatable slide/pool. Was soooo much fun! about 6 hours ago from twhirl
