iPhone App Blog

If you want to get super cool sweet third party apps on your iPhone, but lack the skillz to hack it then you’re in luck! Installer.app is a new UIKit based package manager for the iPhone that is super easy to download and use. It features a simple one line command download scheme that makes it easy for even the most technologically inept iPhone user to hack the phone.

The single command installer automates not only the Installer.app installation, but jailbreaking your iPhone as well. Right now the software is in its beta stages and isn’t backed up by any warranty or guarantee, but has been getting decent reviews. Gizmodo’s Jesus Diaz did a full step-by-step install for Mac OS X users complete with very nerdy joke picture at the top of the article.

Another good package managment tool for the iPhone is pxl. If you have a little more technical skill/courage pxl is a fairly easy and well recieved hack to get third party apps on your iPhone. To get pxl going on your phone you’ll have to jailbreak it yourself; a daunting task for non-hackers. Fortunately iPhone Central has a very long and detailed jailbreak how-to.
