Have an iPhone and want to install jailbroken apps that aren't available on Apple's iTunes? Well up until now your only option was to make a choice; help keep the AT&T/Apple iPhone monopoly going or jailbreak your iPhone. Well, not anymore. Now there is a program available for Mac (and soon for Windows) called InstallerApp from RipDev that lets you install jailbroken apps onto your iPhone without it needing to be jailbroken.
InstallerApp is a program that will allow you to download iPhone apps to your computer and then transfer them to your iPhone over a USB connection. Once you get the InstallerApp and have it running, you will see a list of thousands of iPhone apps available from non-app store sources. You can browse by category or search for programs. InstallerApp supports Installer and Cydia, the 2 best known package installer's of jailbroken iPhones.
InstallerApp is commercial software and is available for $7 from RipDev's site.
The bottom line... this is a great way for someone who wants to follow the rules and is too scared to jailbreak their iPhone, but wants to experience some of the great "underground" iPhone apps out there. Apple may try to play Big Brother and shelter us from apps they consider foolish or inappropriate, but with this program, everyone wins.
