Jailbroken or just plain broken?
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008Cydia sucks.
After spending last week enduring repeated reboots, boot freezes, and all around suckage (along with at least 10 different restores of the entire phone OS and data) I have decided that the iPhone jailbreak is neither stable enough to use nor worth the effort.
Before the 2.0 OS and App Store I used the old jailbreak to turn my iPhone into something more useful than it was without the non-Apple ecosystem. Now, everything that I used and found useful about the jailbreak apps is available (or in the queue for approval) from the App Store so the headache is just not worth it. I will be watching to see if my copy of NetShare gets deactivated if Apple eventually decides to pull that app, but as long as it stays on my phone I can’t think of a compelling reason to bother with the jailbreak and that horrible POS called Cydia.
BTW, did I mention just how much Cydia sucks?
