Thanks for your wise tip. I am using Iphone 3Gs. Can I apply this hack on it? Is there any problem in doing so? I was looking for this information.
nope
But how to get Cydia on the Iphone?
@Guido: you have to jailbrake your iphone.
THANKS SO MUCH! I followed all of the above steps. Rebooted my iPhone 3GS. Now what do I do to download my ipa files? Do I just connect my iPhone to my laptop–open Itunes–download the app’s?
