Chicago (IL) - Yes, Apple's App Store carries great stuff for your iPhone. But some of the best applications Apple banned from the App Store are now found at an unauthorized store, called Cydia. Many have not yet heard of Cydia because it cannot be used unless you jailbreak your iPhone, a hacking process that preps the handset for running Apple-sanctioned programs. As of today, The Cydia Store gets into the game by enabling sales of sanctioned applications for the same 70:30 revenue sharing model that Apple offers. But Apple is already prepping to send its legal sharks after The Cydia Store by leveraging DCMA in order to push jailbreaking into illegal territory. The question is, does it make any sense at all? If you ask authors of ingenious programs that Apple banned from the App Store for questionable reasons, or for the users who obviously want to run them, Apple's response is a stifling action against competition, one that threatens to kill the best iPhone software out there. But if you ask Apple they'll say: a lawyer a day keeps the illegals away.

Ever dreamed of doing some "trick" photography on your iPhone? How about doing some time-lapse photos? Now you can with the iPhone App TimeLapse. This new iPhone App allows you to take photos at pre-set intervals. Very nifty if you ask me. Something I may have to try out for kicks and giggles for only 99 cent.
Short except from tuaw.com below...
Here's a fun application. TimeLapse [App Store link] uses your iPhone's camera to take photos at regular intervals. You can have one photo snapped as infrequently as every 24 hours, or as often as every 10 seconds, which is about as fast as it can snap and store a photo. After you've collected all of your photos (I told it to stop after 300), you can easily dump them into iMovie or QuickTime Pro and make a simple time lapse movie. Neat!
You can set a delay before it takes a shot, which means you can also use TimeLapse as a timer to allow the photographer to get in the frame. Additionally, it could work as a rudimentary surveillance camera. While it's running, a display lists when it started, the time of the last picture taken and the approximate time of when it will stop.
We received a tip on some new applications for the iPhone to get you in shape for the new year.
Pumpone.com is a developer and supplier of the new iPhone applications where some act as a personal trainer for you. A real personal trainer is usually expensive so why not use your iPod or iPhone to help get you in shape. It is probably your new years resolution to get fit and you may have joined a gym already. What better way to jump-start your workouts by having your own trainer on your iPod or iPhone? We thought this was pretty neat to share with you.
Many of you who purchased an iPhone 3G are really ready to use it as a tethering device so that you may have full highspeed 3G internet access on-the-go with your laptop. It really sucks that you have to purchase a separate device for about $60 a month to use your laptop anywhere there is 3G service. Wouldn't it be so much easier to just use your iPhone 3G to tether which you already pay a premium for each month? AT&T is in the talking process for allowing the tethering to happen.
Of course you can probably do this already if you have a jailbroken iPhone but you may run into issues if AT&T detects that you are using your iPhone data for internet on a laptop (high-data-rates). The only pitfall to this "idea" is the fact that AT&T says they will change an additional $30 on top of your current iPhone plan in order to tether. Darn, just when you thought it would be awesome to NOT PAY ANYTHING ADDITIONAL to tether your all-so-fast iPhone 3G.
The champion javelin thrower Roald Bradstock, throws an iPod for a stunning 154 yards in this YouTube video that we found posted on TUAW. Sure you may have seen iPod-in-a-blender or iPod-drop-test videos online but what about someone taking an iPod and launching it the distance of a full football field and-a-half?
Maybe the one of the losing football teams such as the Browns could use someone like this. Although, he wouldn't be throwing an iPod unless it is covered with a pigskin iPod case. And yes, you can buy one of those skins for your iPod.
