Apple doesn't give us MMS on the iPhone, so the community does

by Chris Ziegler posted Dec 6th 2007 @ 10:45AM

Golly, we heart iPhone hackers. Seriously, is there anything these cats can't do? Short of magically bestowing our favorite Apple phone (see what we did there?) with 3G data, we're pretty confident that the dev community is going to end up fulfilling every last wish that Apple doesn't. A ModMyiPhone member has busted out an early release of a true, honest-to-goodness native MMS app, filling in perhaps one of the biggest gaps in the iPhone's out of the box functionality (yeah, we know you can MMS most carriers' phones via email, but it's still super annoying), and even better, it seriously looks stock from the screen shots. It's apparently still got a few issues -- and it's send-only for the moment -- but it's a great start. Keep on keepin' on, fellas!

ModMyiPhone releases web-based skinner

Goodness, these hacks are getting so slick and easy to use that we're really not sure it's appropriate to call them hacks anymore. ModMyiPhone has outed a rather impressive web-based home screen skinner, allowing even the most timid of iPhone users access to the wide world of iPhone modding. Besides the extensive selection of stock icons, users can upload their own, position them in the order they wish, and add a custom background while they're add it. The app spits out an .ipb file -- install it on the handset using InstallIPB (see the site for details) and you're good to go. Make your skin for free while you can, though; the site's suggesting that it may need to move the service to a subscription model depending on how popular it becomes.

Web-based application manager for iPhone

The gents at ModMyiphone are up to shenanigans again with the release of a web-based application manager for your iPhone. The concept is simple -- and the UI is pretty slick to boot -- hit the site, login, browse and add applications to your profile, and then enjoy the convenience of one-stop web application management. Of course, you could simply use bookmarks to achieve the same effect, but why put in all the effort of finding new and cool things when somebody is willing to do all the leg work for ya? No signs of exploits here folks, so hit the read link to have at it.
