Are you confused by the title of this post? Yeah, me too, but I couldn't figure out how to clearly say what I wanted it to say. Anyways, now that I've got your attention, I want to talk to you about a new jailbreak app called Remove Background.
You might remember the Remove Background SBSettings Toggle we showed you a couple weeks ago. The Remove Background app works hand in hand with it.
Yesterday we told you that Apple will be streaming their special event live but unfortunately, not all systems are supported. For example, if you are on Windows, you cannot watch the event.
There is always a workaround for everything though. Mac Rumors figured out a way to bypass the restrictions and play the video on any platform.
As you might know by now, Apple is holding a special event tomorrow, where the firm will presumably unveil new iPods and more. For the first time, Apple will be streaming the event live. Sounds great, right? Well, the downside is that you need a Mac or an iOS device to watch the event:
It took 3 years for someone to create the perfect case for iPhone. One that would protect your iPhone and quench your thirst. A case so simple and obvious that it got me saying out loud "why didn't I think about that"?
Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the iBottleOpener, a little marvel of engineering and technology that will bring "a party in your pocket". Forget normal bottle openers, they are so 2009! For $19.95 you can get yourself an iBottleOpener that will sure be getting you some attention.
The big letdown is that it's only available for iPhone 3G and 3GS so far, but it's apparently coming to the iPhone 4 soon.
You know you want it.

You might have noticed there's been quite a few new jailbreak apps that were released during the last weeks. While some of them are not much interesting, a number of them got my attention and have the potential to making in on our list of best jailbreak apps for iPhone.
In this post, I'll share with you 10 jailbreak applications available in Cydia that are worth downloading. If you haven't checked them out yet, I suggest you have a look at them:
We've already gone over methods for downgrading an iPhone from iOS 4.0.2 to 4.0.1. Unfortunately, this method requires you to have your SHSH blobs on file on Saurik's server, which some of you don't have.
There is a post today on the Big Boss blog about how to downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0.1 without SHSH blobs, so I thought it might be helful to some of you.
How often do you use the Spotlight search on your iPhone? If you're like me, you never ever use it. Even worse, I get annoyed by it as I often end up on the Spotlight screen while browsing through apps. No more of this!
NoSpot is a new application available in Cydia that will get rid of Spotlight by hiding it from your screen. It's easy, simple, and free!
Auto3G is a new jailbreak application that aims at extending your iPhone battery life by automatically turning off the 3G radio when you lock your iPhone, and automatically turning it back on when you slide to unlock.
This simple app allows you to always have the speed of 3G when you need it, without draining your battery when you're not using it. Auto3G will add a new icon to your springboard from which you can choose the 3G timeout settings.
I found this awesome lockscreen on Cydia yesterday, with a little help from AtomicMufin on Twitter. It's called TypoPhone 4 and it's basically a lockscreen theme that shows the time and date in large bold letters. It also contains this cool unlock slider. You can download it from Cydia and activate it with Winterboard.
To have it look exactly like the image above, you'll also need to download Lockscreen Clock Hide from Cydia, which like the name suggests, hides the clock on your iPhone.
I think that's an awesome mod and it is without a doubt the coolest iPhone lockscreen I've seen so far. Now this thing just needs a little bit of colors to make it perfect.
What do you guys think? You like it?

There is a new jailbreak app available called Volume Booster 4.0 that supposedly boosts up the volume of your iPhone. I say "supposedly" because it didn't work for me, although I tried on 2 different iPhones. Maybe you'll be more successful than I was...
After downloading Volume Booster from Cydia, you have to go an activate it in WinterBoard, just like you would activate a theme. You won't see any icon or options in the settings.app.
I think this is a must-watch video of Steve Jobs talking about branding and where Apple should stand. I'm not sure when this video was recorded, but I'm glad Steve didn't do about speech about clothing. I mean look at these shorts, man, that's wild! At any rates, this is the essence of Apple.
