Infinidock is a nice project by a fellow by the name of chpwn, and allows you to have a horizontal scrolling dock on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Full dock customization: scrolling, adjustable icon amounts, and more! Add as many icons as you want, and the dock will grow to accommodate them, and set how many you want on every page. The ultimate dock customization tool, by one of the developers of ProSwitcher. Please report all bugs and submit all feature requests via email so we can take a look!

This is perfect for people who want more than 5 icons on the Dock without making the Dock look wack. Simply drag and drop the icons into the Dock. You will then be able to swipe to scroll through the icons as they remain in your dock on each page.

This app is available on Cydia for a low price of $0.99

Note: This app requires you to have your iPhone jailbroken with Cydia installed

Current ORP Bounty: $1,515.

Update: All right; ORP the Bounty Hunter here… Dashhacks will put $1,000 towards the bounty, and should you want ORP on the iPhone as much as the next guy (or girl to be politically correct), then feel free to donate using the PayPal button below. The first person to deliver a working ORP iPhone client takes home the whole she-bang — $1,000 + all donations.

Are you a developer? Do you have skills? What about a PS3: you have one of those? If you answered yes to all 3 questions then boy, do we have something for [one of] you…

Dashhacks is putting out a bounty… Be the first to port Open Remote Play (ORP) to the iPhone, creating a fully functional touch-enabled ORP experience, and get paid $1,000 CAD. That’s 10 cold hard Canadian brown skins.

The heavy lifting is already done… Check my main man, Dashhacker; he’s got the key to success over at the Open Remote Play project page — code and all.

Bounty rules and stipulations:

1. Open Remote Play is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2; you must agree to that.
2. We’re paying $1,000 CAD via PayPal; sorry no cheques, money orders, or wire transfers.
3. Upon completion your final code will be committed to the ORP SVN repository.
4. You must email your final entry to orp@dashhacks.com.
5. After we test & confirm the first working client, we will announce the winner, which will effectively end the contest.
6. Feel free to email orp@dashhacks.com with any questions or concerns.

All right… You good? Good. Be the first — it’s success and nothin’ less.

‘Bout time, right? RipDev have released InstallerApp for Windows. It took longer than they expected but the only thing that matters is that it’s finally out. If you don’t know what InstallerApp is, it’s a desktop application to install Apple Unapproved 3rd Party applications onto your jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch via USB. Both Cydia repositories and Installer repositories are supported, so that’s a plus.

InstallerApp works on anything from XP to Windows 7, so which ever version of Windows you’re using you should be good! InstallerApp requires iTunes so make sure you have that installed before hand.

InstallerApp license costs $7USD and the license ties to the devices so it works regardless on which platform you use it on.

Download InstallerApp v1.0 for Windows

Rock Your Phone, an alternative app store for Cydia Store or Apple’s AppStore, is now open for business! First, Cydia Store opened and is now challenging Apple’s AppStore and now, Rock Your Phone has joined Cydia Store and is challenging Apple.

At the moment, Rock Your Phone only has 5 applications for sale, one being free (for limited time). Rock Your Phone does offer a 10 day trial unlike Cydia or Apple which is awesome! I can’t tell you how many applications I’ve bought from the AppStore and to find out they are horribly unstable and sometimes they aren’t even what I expected. So, Rock your Phone having a 10 day trial is a huge plus for me.

Head over to RockYourPhone.com to get a RockID and download their desktop client (Windows and Intel Mac OSX – no PowerPC) and install it and install Rock Your Phone on your iPhone and start downloading some applications!

We mention that iBluetooth entered the final stage of beta testing awhile ago and today, iBluetooth was released on cydia! Finally, eh? Again, an jailbreak iPhone developer had to do what Apple didn’t do — Allow users to transfer files to and from the iPhone.

iBluetooth is £3.99 and available on Cydia and you can buy it here

Thanks Thomas for the tip!

RipDev has released an update to Installer. ‘Bout time they release an update, eh?

Well, what’s new?

• Cancelable tasks: certain tasks now can be cancelled by sliding your finger across it in the Tasks window.
• Progress indicator in the source refresh task.
• German localization.
• Updated infrastructure for the upcoming InstallerApp.
• bug fixes.

Go on, fire up Installer.app to update.

A voice navigation GPS app for the iPhone has been in huge demand by a lot of people including myself. Well, like 90% of the time, an unofficial iPhone developer has developed what Apple hasn’t — xGPS — It features voice navigation — sounds like Steve Hawkings is giving you directions to your destination — but it works. You can download a specific area from Google Maps from the application to be used offline or to be used where you wont have internet access – awesome, right?

From the limited tests I’ve done, I can safely say this app kicks ass! It works really good. It’s pretty stable and it’s pretty accurate. Sometimes you’re driving down a street and then the application tells you you’re going the wrong way when you’re not and it can get pretty annoying but after a few seconds it corrects itself. The voice nav works but its a little hard to understand. I wish it had Mac OS X’s Alex voice which sounds awesome and like a real person talking, but it doesn’t perhaps in future version of xGPS. – Overall, this is an awesome application that’s worth having for any iPhone 3G user (or iPhone 2G user)

There’s also a desktop application to download the maps to your pc/mac and to view the GPX data

xGPS is available in Cydia and it’s free! yes, free.

Cydia developer, Jay Freeman also known as Saurik has released a new version of Cydia that sports essentially an AppStore clone. It’s called Cydia Store. It’s where iPhone/Touch developers can get money from their unofficial third-party jailbreak applications. The first paid package to be released on Cydia Store is Cyntact. It’s a simple app that shows profile pictures in the contact list. It’s priced at $1.00USD at the Cydia Store.

Based off his twitter updates, he plans to add PayPal support sometime next week. He also plans to convert cydia from a package repository to a full fledged app store with an integrated payment system. He also does not plan to charge more than the 30% commission that Apple charges developers

He opened the store for unofficial AppStore developers like himself to make money from their efforts. He says “The overworking goal is to provide choice. It’s understandable that [Apple] wants to control things, but it has been very limiting for developers and users.”

WSJ reports that Freeman, who has been on the lookout daily for email from Apple lawyers, isn’t taking any chances and has lined up a lawyer in case Apple takes legal action.

Details via Freeman’s twitter:

• Direct credit card processing in the future.
• The purchase is tied to your Cydia account on the server, so even if you buy a new iPhone you will be able to install it on your new device.
• Cyntact is DRM-free. Freeman plans to work with the existing commercial applications to handle their current DRM.

Open up Cydia to update!

What do you guys think of this idea? – Personally, I’m excited. More apps will become more stable and better and will be worth every cent. For those who haven’t yet jailbroken their iPhones: What are you waiting for? Do it already! You’re missing out on a ton of awesome stuff.

Since Apple won’t add copy and paste on the iPhone or iPod Touch someone else had to implement something to take care of copy and paste. ℏClipboard allows the end user to copy and paste text. I’ve tested it on the Notes app, Mail app, and Safari app and it works beautifully. Makes the iPhone experience much better and easier.

Introduction from the project’s website:

ℏClipboard is a global copy and paste solution for the iPhoneOS 2.2 based on iKeyEx.

To Install:

1. Open Cydia
2. Download and Install ℏClipboard from Cydia (BigBoss Repo)
3. Open the Settings app and go to General -> Keyboard -> International -> and turn on the ℏClipboard

Thanks Ecko for the tip!

For any of you that use Installer instead of Cydia or for any of you who care about Installer, then, you may like to know that RipDev have released Installer 4.0.
From RipDev’s blog:

we have added Greek, Russian and Ukranian localizations, redone the interface for speed, fixed a bunch of bugs and made it so it can bear the tag “4.0″. And yes, we’re proud of what we have done — largely with your feedback.

So, that’s it. If you’d like, go open up the dusty Installer app on your iPhone or iPod Touch and update.
