With the App Store, Apple was hoping to put an end to unofficial third-party application developers, and persuade them to come legally develop under Apple’s watchful eye, using the iPhone SDK.
Unfortunately, the App Store doesn’t have quite everything you have access to if you jailbreak your iPhone. Below is a solid list of top ten apps that could make jailbreaking your iPhone worth the trouble and risk. (via ReadWriteWeb)
1. Pushr - Dedicated Flickr App - Pushr also allows you to upload multiple photos at a time, which beats emailing each photo individually. If you want to delete a photo from the list, simply swipe your finger from right to left. Our only quirk with Pushr is that you can’t specify a set for images to go to. Otherwise, Pushr is the ultimate Flickr uploading tool for your iPhone. Pushr allows you to select a photo and edit a lot of the standard Flickr options. Users can edit the name, description, tags, and privacy options before uploading it their Flickr account.
2. Qik - Livestreaming service - Qik is one of the best livestreaming services available on the web. The service has recently expand its offerings of compatible handsets. Lucky for jailbreakers, Qik has recently become available on jailbroken iPhones. Since its initial release the Qik app has upgraded tremendously. You can now: Mute your broadcast, Set privacy options, Send an alert to Twitter, Hide chat, Set stream title, Allow Qik to see your current location.
3. Flixwagon - Direct competitor to Qik - If you’re not into Qik, you may like its competitor, Flixwagon. Most of what applies to the Qik app also applies to the Flixwagon application.
4. Winterboard - Customization application - Winterboard is the ultimate solution for meeting your customization needs on your iPhone. There are thousands of compatible themes floating around for customizing the “real” background on your iPhone, icons, bars, keyboards, alert buttons, battery images, and tons more. The possibilities are endless with Winterboard.
5. MxTube - Youtube application - MxTube is a simple solution. With MxTube can stream Youtube videos just like you do with the standard Youtube app. MxTube also allows you to download and save these videos to your iPhone. The process is simple and entirely dependent upon your internet connection. Simply download the video you’d like to view later and that’s it. You can watch all your videos directly from the MxTube app. No conversion necessary.
6. NES - NINTENDO SIMULATOR!- The NES emulator app allows you to run Nintendo ROMs right from your iPhone. Trust us, there are plenty floating around the web for downloading. It’s a little tricky to get these ROMs on your iPhone and also involves a bit of hacking. However, it’s nothing serious enough to brick your iPhone and well worth the effort. So if you’re in the mood for some old school games like Monopoly, a game that isn’t available in the App Store, then the NES emulator might be worth considering jailbreaking your iPhone for.
7. GSphone - GAMEBOY SIMULATOR!- If you were a bigger fan of the Gameboy system, then developers have you covered with the GSphone emulator. Like the NES emulator, GSphone allows you to run ROMs for the Gameboy gaming system.
8. Snapture - Camera enhancement application- This app provides a host of options and features for editing your photos on your iPhone: QuickView thumbnail stack, QuickView thumbnail enlarge, QuickView delete, EasyCapture, QuickAccess, Geotagging, Color modes, and many more.
9. Scrobble - Kind of like Last.FM- Scrobble is an app that runs in the background and scrobbles every song you listen to via the iPod app. You can view the latest stats on how many tracks have been scrobbled and how many are left in queue by heading to your settings. It stays out of the way and works really well with the iPod app.
10. Cycorder - VIDEO RECORDER !!!- Cycorder has great video recording quality ranging between 6-15 fps. We’ve been tipped off that for better recording quality with this app, you’ll need to be in a will lit area. You can playback your videos on your iPhone or simply download them to your computer for maximum viewing pleasure.
Some of the above mentioned applications have genuine competition in the App Store, but some are just a downright mystery as to why they’re not there. Like Cycorder.
