Cookbook For Third-Party Apps On iPhone

a_skripko suggests this easy step-by-step procedure for adding third-party applications to an Apple iPhone. While the article claims "this procedure can be performed by the average user," it might at least have to be an average user with no fear of the command line.

Great!

Anyone has an app that can make a phone call?

is that a medical condition?

Is command line phobia a medical condition or is it related to a fear of typing? Do people actually get the shakes and start screaming "where did all the icons go"? An older Unix system must make them go fetal.

Jeezly crow. How big is this thing?

I'm sure my tailor could sew a pocket into my pants that's big enough to hold my Dell D420 laptop, too, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

No, it's more like "I have a life and don't need to learn arcane commands written by social misfits who themselves had a deep phobia of dictionaries."

Oh you're just in a bad mood. You need to go to an Apple store and have one of the employees implant a Reality Distortion Field in your head. You'll be much happier and you will look forward to the next iPhone article. Take your credit card and leave the tin foil at home.

>Well, you've more or less have put on a major concern of *ALL* smartphones. Whether it runs OS X (iPhone), Windows Mobile, Linux, Symbian, RIM OS (Blackberry) - they all meet the same criteria. Most people will install a random binary on their smartphone if it does something "interesting", regardless of what it runs.

Whatever. You're going to be so jealous that my phone has Comet Cursor and Weather Bug on it.
