Is it time to hack the iPhone? I took this question and tried it to see how easy and worthwhile hacking the iPhone would be. I downloaded iFuntastic, SSH, NES, and Wifi-Tether hacks for the iPhone. I got two of those to work. Hacking the iPhone is not the easiest hack I have done and I would rather wait until there is a nice application like iFuntastic that will install applications to the iPhone. If your a Mac user who has to hack their iPhone now, iFuntastic is for you. If your not and you want more then changing the AT&T logo on your phone I’d say wait.
Also I need to say, Ryan Block the Engadget Jackass wrote on his blog that iFuntastic will put you iPhone is GUI hell if you install iFuntasy from the iFuntastic application. This is not the case. You have to install it and you can easily uninstall it by clicking the uninstall button. Ryan Block may suffer from a reading problem.
Follow Up (August 13th): I found a awesome article on hacking the iPhone, putting SSH on it and more by Shaun Inman and it isn’t easy but it works. You can read his article here but do not read the “Read Me”s in the files you download. They’ll just give you a misguided headache. This is not for those of faint heart or Ben Curtis.
I hate Ryan Block. Ugh. He never uses spell check either.
