So, I’m sure you all heard about how Apple kicked GV out of the appstore, right? Well, you know the hacking community is always ready to get back at apple and throw their limitations and restrictions back in their face. Of course, GV would be released in the Cydia store….FOR FREE!!! In no means am I taking responsibility for finding this app. It was news to me while browsing around. If you want more info on this app in the cydia store or just want to learn more about google voice, go on over to modmyi and check out the article. Now..if only I could get an invitation (babygurlkc2007@aim.com)..hmm. Anyone?
CAUTION: It is in BETA

If you’re anything like me, you absolutely HATE how slow edge can be when you aren’t in a 3g cover area or near a wifi hotspot. Sometimes, even 3g can be really slow when you’re trying to do something in a hurry, for example, putting in a swagcode with a 2 minute time limit.
Maybe you would just like to use certain apps that are wifi restricted in other areas such as fring,skype, or other VOIP providers. Maybe you want to be able to watch youtube videos in high quality like you do on wifi. Well now you can!
3g unrestrictor allows you to use apps over 3g/edge/GRPS as if you’re on WIFI. It basically “tricks” your iphone into thinking you’re on WIFI and allows you to use these applications with no problem.
The app is available in Cydia for $2 and can be used on any generation iphone (iphone,3g,and 3gs).
So, if you’re tired of being restricted to not being able to use certain apps on 3g, go and check out 3g Unrestricted. Come back and comment and let us know what you guys think!

The launch of Apple’s 3.0 firmware for the iphone has inticed developers to add and begin working on great new apps for the iphone. With just a few streaming apps in the appstore, Joost and CBS, it seems as if Apple may begin allowing applications to stream movies and television shows.
So, who’s next? Hopefully Hulu! If you haven’t heard of Hulu then you’re not from this planet! With the wide variety of shows they offer and pretty funny commercials to promote the website, it’s hard to have missed out on Hulu.
The website offers streaming of television shows, movies, and trailers. It had been rumored about a year ago that they were working on an application for the iphone but Hulu denied it. This year, it looks like this may be the case though.
OS 3.0 allows developers to add streaming into their apps so Hulu will be able to stream within the app and not force users to watch from safari.
There has been no definite release date of this app but when it is finally released, I will be one of the first people to download it. There has also been no word on the price of it but since the website allows for free streaming I’m guessing that the app will also be free and will be paid by advertisements within the stream.

Have you ever been shopping and wondered if you can find that same product cheaper somewhere else? Luckily for you, you have a jailbroken iphone!
A new cydia app has been released called RedLaser that allows your iphone to read barcodes. After scanning the bar code with your phone’s camera, it then searches amazon and google for a list of stores that carry that product so that you may compare prices.
Don’t worry first generation iphone users. This works for all 3 phones (iphone, 3g, and 3gs!).
The developer for this app has made it really easy. No need to push any buttons to search or scan or anything. Simply hold the camera still over the middle of the barcode and let it do it’s thing.
How much does this app cost? Well…NOTHING! This app is absolutely free in the cydia store so go and check it out!
Below is some screen shots that I took after testing the app out. If any of you are wondering why I used A&D ointment, it’s not because I have a diaper rash lol. I recently got a tattoo and it was the closest thing to me with a barcode so no jokes lol.

If you’re like me, you need something to do for those long or short in-between times. Whether you’re waiting in between classes (or in class), bored at the airport, or just passing time you will find that the time passes quickly while playing Doom Resurrection. If you’re just looking for a cool, fun new game to play on your iphone or ipod touch then you will definately love this game!
Doom is a one-person shooter game based off the old video game. As an army soldier, you’re exploring mars with oter soldiers, doctors, and scientists until an epidemic breaks out and kills some while turning others into flesh-eating, blood-sucking zombies. Sounds cool, right? Your goal is basically to get out alive without being attacked and turned into a zombie. 
One cool feature of this game is that it gives you the option to save and quit to come back later and resume at the spot you stopped. So don’t worry about losing countless hours of winning if you need to pause for awhile. It also allows the player to calibrate the aim target so that your aiming will be on target no matter what angle you are holding your phone or ipod.
Doom Resurrection will run you $9.99 in the appstore or free if you have installous. Check the game out and leave a comment letting us know what you think about it or how far you have gotten.

Hate missing calls or texts on your iphone because you couldn’t hear the low ring or chime? You need a VOLUME BOOST!
Volume Boost from ModMyi is a great tweak for your iphone or ipod touch to improve the volume quality. One huge fallback of the iphone is the low volume from the external speakers. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has missed text messages and phone calls because I was unable to hear the ring or text chime.
Luckily, the developers of Volume Boost have found a fix for this. To install Volume Boost go into cydia and make sure you have the modmyi source installed (http://apt.modmyi.com/) and be sure to have winterboard installed. Once you’ve added the ModMyi source, search for Volume Boost and install it. After you have installed volume boost, activate it by going into winterboard and turning it on. After the respring, volume boost will now be activated and you’re on your way to hearing better volume quality!
