iPhone

Ah, cheers for clearing that up Tez. Guess I'll just have to bide my time.

Personally for what I use it for since iOS 4 there isn't a need for me to Jailbreak, legal or not!

That said Jailbreaking my iPad might be needed until iOS 4 iPad version gets done because I really need multitasking and app folders. Mainly app folders as I have 5 pages full of apps.

Lol.....so true,

The Twilight one is so true too: http://theoatmeal.com/story/twilight

My OtterBox Defender arrived today

Very nice. Adds more bulk than a Bumper, but for me that's a worthwhile trade-off for the added protection.

I got my bumper the other day for free and I quite like it actually. Wouldn't pay 25 smackers and I've never really likes cases, but it fits well and feels nice in the hand.

Well that didn't take long - You can now jailbreak iPhone 4 (or any iOS4 device)

Sweet, looks like I'll be jailbreaking some time soon then

Nice!

Looks simple, too. You just do it via Safari on the iPhone itself, no need to obtain & run the app on your computer.

Tempting... although I don't miss it much, tbh. iOS4 sorted out some of my JB uses by adding folders & multitasking etc.

I'm not really sure what benefits you would get for JailBreaking, at least just now. iOS4 kind of does everything I can think of, at least for the time being. I guess having access to unofficial apps would be cool (although all I can think about are porn apps).

What else would you really get from it?

Well the ability to tether without paying an extra to O2 would be nice, plus I like the look of the wifi sync app and a few other handy things.

On an unrelated note - is it possible to sync an iPhone between a Mac and a PC? I'll be changing the library IDs on both machines so it'll think they're the same machine as it worked before, but they were both PCs when I tried it last time.

So glad I can easily JB again.

Missed SB Settings and notifier badly. Glad I can get my fave sms tone back on too.

Ok, I give up. How the hell do you make custom ringtones on this bitch?

I recorded a small 45 second tune I like from a TV show, I want as a ringer. However, I have absolutely no idea how to go from Mp3 on my Laptop to ring tone on my phone.

With most phones, you just shove the file on there and there's a menu option to make it a ring tone, like how you would with a photo for wallpaper. Not for this though. It's fucking nowhere.

Good luck! I did it once and couldn't be arsed to go through the hasstle again!

Erm you need to put the mp3 in iTunes, then right click it, choose Get Info. Set a start and end time (it must be no longer than 30 seconds or it won't work) then right click it and convert to M4A - you can set what format to convert to in iTunes preferences. Then once that's done, copy the converted file to another location outside the iTunes Music directory, and change the file extension to M4R. Once that's done, put it back in iTunes and it should be recognised as a ringtone.

Of course if you jailbreak you can use pretty much any mp3 as a ringtone as far as I know.

Edit - well, it's done. Got my iPhone syncing properly with my Mac so I've got a backup ready to go, but the jailbreak was totally painless, took less than 5 minutes.

What the fuck? What the FUCK is that shit?! I thought Apple products were meant to be fucking easy in that retarded "Durr, I haz komputor!!" sort of way?!

Anyway...*sigh*. I do what you say, but when I right click, it asks if I want to make an Mp3 version, when the file is FUCKING Mp3!

Go to your iTunes import preferences and change the converted format to M4A. And yeah, you think they'd make it easy but they want you to pay 99c for ringtones from iTunes rather than make your own, the wankers.
