One Week with an iPhone
I’ve had my iPhone jailbroken and used for the past week or so. There’s not a lot to be said about the device. Physically, it’s a gorgeous phone. That really shouldn’t surprise anyone given Apple’s focus on beauty. The screen is a magnitude of 1,000 better than either my T-Mobile Dash or the Blackberry Pearl. [...]

Ergo, the [...]
