Native Turn By Turn Directions Tweak is a new project being worked on by a couple jailbreak apps developers. This app will use the Google Maps application that comes with your iPhone and will add voice directions on top of it.
This should be the cheapest way to bring voice navigation to your iPhone. Check the video below for a quick demo of the app in action...
It's official, the Verizon iPhone is here for everyone to purchase and go home with. If you just got your hands on one of them, the first thing you might want to do is to jailbreak your Verizon iPhone.

Last week, Verizon started taking pre-orders for the iPhone 4 and issued a press release later on, highlighting how this pre-order day was the best day ever in terms of sales for Verizon. Because the press release didn't mention any number of units sold, I called BS on it and speculated that sales were probably much smaller than expected.
Today is the big day for Verizon. It's the first day where anyone and everyone can walk in a store (Apple, Verizon, Walmart, etc) and go home with a brand new Verizon iPhone. So I decided to jump in my car and go to the Apple Store and Verizon Store near me to see how they were doing. I expected 10 people or less at each store, but it seems I was too optimistic...

So, today is officially V-day, a.k.a. Verizon day. To celebrate, everyone's invited, and I do mean, everyone.
Walmart is the latest retailer to get their grubby hands on the Verizon iPhone 4 at launch, making it apparent that Apple wants to move the iPhone 4 into commodity status.
Not that the iPhone 4 was some rare luxury device to begin with or anything, but c'mon, it's Walmart...
The latest release of the GreenPois0n jailbreak for iPhone 4.2.1 comes with a nice little surprise: you can now add animated boot logos to your iPhone. We already showed you how to do this manually, today we're going to show you how to do this directly from Cydia.
In order to do that, you'll obviously need a jailbroken iPhone on iOS 4.2.1, either using GreenPois0n (see our tutorial), or the tethered version of RedSn0w. You will not be able to install animated boot logos unless you are on 4.2.1 jailbroken iPhone with GreenPois0n or RedSn0w tethered...
Verizon has been stealing attention away from the iPhone's original carrier, and it looks like AT&T is doing all it can to keep disgruntled customers from jumping ship.
500,000+ Verizon iPhones have already been pre-ordered, and the device just became available for purchase on Apple's site.
Needless to say, AT&T is definitely feeling the heat from its new competition, and it's doing everything it can to ensure that customers don't cross over to the dark side...
If the story sounds familiar, that's because it is. You want to be able to use your iPhone while synching with iTunes, so what do you do?
You jailbreak your iPhone, and install one of two tweaks: Synchronicity or FreeSync. Both tweaks do a good job at allowing you chug away at your iPhonely duties while syncing with iTunes, and both are similarly priced.
With that in mind, which jailbreak tweak should you go with? We've already covered Synchronicity -- a tweak that made it into our Top 10 Jailbreak Apps for 2010 list -- so lets look at the flipside of the coin with FreeSync...
Up until now, those wishing to hop on Big Red's iPhone 4 train had to be existing customers. Back on February 3rd, those customers were able pre-order during an event that supposedly resulted in record sales figures.
While we're still a bit skeptical about the numbers, there's no doubt that the prospect of having the iPhone on an alternative carrier in the States is an idea that the masses relish.
Feeling left out? Fret not, because the Verizon iPhone 4 is now available for purchase, even if you aren't an existing Verizon customer...
