RipDev has announced an upcoming application named InstallerApp — InstallerApp will allow users to install jailbreak unofficial third-party application via a desktop application. It will look similar to Installer.app on the iPhone but it will be on your desktop. You will be able to view and download applications from Installer and Cydia (yay!) repositories and then sync them to your iPhone via USB. Pretty awesome for those who don’t have Wi-Fi or cell network access.
Once you download the app, it will be kept on your hard drive (unless, of course you delete it) and just like iTunes, InstallerApp will notify you when there are updates for application you’ve downloaded. InstallerApp is still in beta testing and version 1.0 will be released very soon!
Pretty awesome idea!
What do you guys think? Will you be using this often when it releases? Let us know!
Sweet. Wouldnt mind using this. Lovely.
Yay at last
cool….cant waet….
Sure!!!
Hell Yeah
Will it also work in reverse? i.e. will we be able to download new cydia apps directly to our phone, then when we sync to our computer, will it take new apps from the phone and sync them to the computer? Also, what about apps that were installed previously? Will they save to our computer the first time we sync?
This is great. I’ll definitly be using this! For some reason, I can’t get Installer to work right on the EDGE network. It never refreshes the sources or downloads anything until I get on a WiFi network….since I dont have Wifi at home, Installer is useless to me. Cydia, however, works perfectly on my phone. So, really looking forward to a desktop client. It will also be nice because it uses both Cydia and Installer sources in one, then you only have to check ONE program instead of 2
nice, cant wait
But, won’t it void your warranty?
Jailbreaking will technically void your warranty. If you need to take your iphone in for repairs or something you could always restore the iphone to factory settings.
I don’t have wifi so this would be amazing.
Anyone know how far away it is?
wen it gonna b release…waited for so long….bullshit
when can you get this app?

A good app on the surface, however, not much good for no sim or wifi users. I expected the app to work around htat issue. Disappointing. Otherwise, a great way to use the Cydia app to install the unlock apps.
