iPhone Hacking: Step-by-Step
I got an iPhone. I love it. There are definitely issues (like the lack of multi-person SMS and search), but overall it is a really great product. I do have to admit that my purchase was in some ways a leap of faith. I am trusting that Apple will add those features in time and that they will open up the platform... or someone else will for them.
And they have. Programs like iFuntastic are available to let someone connect to their iPhone and install apps. Luckily, if you screw up you always just restore via iTunes to the original settings with a little data loss. If you are interested in exploring this option at this early stage iPhone Cental has a step-by-step guide to using the iPhone Hacking Kit (download). It was written by Ben Long and came about because Chris Breen, who just wanted to have iPhone screenshots in his upcoming iPhone book.

Not being able to get my hands on one yet (due in the UK around Xmas) I can only read all the news and get jealous.
There is such a groundswell of support for this phone that it needs an official API (you can only do web applications at present) or there will be a spaghetti of hacks to contend with.
They should have made the phone to work on any cell service not just at&t.
The name iFuntastic sounds a lot like it was insipred by Fantastico, which essentially performs similar functions in a different platform.
With all the hoopla about iPhone, what I really want is AT&T service hacking step by step.
@Kim: My biggest objection remains the AT&T tie up. I could choose AT&T, but not because I have no choice.
how can i put cingular on my iphone??
