What is a Jailbroken iPhone?

Jailbreaking is the process of running unofficial code on the iPhone,iPad and iPod. This allos for the device to be no longer restricted to use only Apple approved apps. Once an iPhone is jailbroken, users can download apps through Cydia and can also still download from the Apple aastore.

Some top rated Jailbroken iPhone apps are as follows:

Winterboard:
This is probably the most popular jailbroken app ever, this allows you to download themes and apply them system wide. This is a must have if you jailbreak your iPhone.

Search:
This is a really cool tool to add to your new jailbroken device. Just enter a search term and hit enter, this app will search everything on the iPhone including your E-mail. It goes through your events, notes, bookmarks, contacts, SMS, and show the results and when you click on them you go directly to it.

Cycorder:
This is a must have for the iPhone and iPhone 3G, of course the iPhone 3GS already is equipped with a great video recorder. This app basically does motion JPEG recording with audio. I don’t believe its as good the native app on the iPhone 3GS but is is better than not having one at all.

Snapture:
Unfortunately this is not a completely free app, this camera app gives you the basic controls for free for 20 tries, after that they ask for a payment. In return you get a bunch of useful and unlimited camera controls and access to albums.

FlixWagon:
If you have ever used Qik, you haven’t missed anything. The FlixWagon does exactly the same thing, it brings live broadcasting to your iPhone. You can also use the camera on your jailbroken iPhone to live stream video and upload it to youtube.

Pushr:
This is the ultimate jailbroken app for Flickr that you can have on your iPhone. This app offers a lot of the standard edit features of Flickr and you can send multiple pics to Flickr.

xGPS:
This app uses Google maps with GPS tracking and also includes turn by turn speech navigation

NES:
This is a great app for the gamer, the NES emulator app allows you to run Nintendo ROMs right from your jailbroken iPhone.
