There are many reasons to jailbreak your iPhone such as My3G to enable FaceTime over 3G or MyWi for wireless tethering or iTether for tethering over Bluetooth. Add another reason to the list: Grant Pannell has managed to compile a version of Frash (Flash) that works on iPhone so you can run Flash on your jailbroken iPhone 4 as well as on iPhone 3GS and 3G.

Google Latitude is a location based service for Smartphones which lets you share your location as well as see where your friends are.Weirdly, Google hasn’t bothered updating their iPhone app with support for Google latitude updating in the background. This issue with no background updating got a lot of hype back in the days as Apple’s iOS didn’t have support for multitasking back then. For all you location addicts, there’s a solution called PlaceTrack available now for jailbroken iPhones. It lets you keep your Google Latitude location up to date without having to open the app. It also lets you stalk your friends on Google Latitude.

A new tweak on Cydia called Cicero lets you customize your search engines in Safari. I had been waiting a long time for a tweak like this to add Bing to Safari before iOS 4. Cicero lets you add any search engine that complies with OpenSearch standards ( almost all major search engines and site specific search engines do this. for e.g. YouTube, Wikipedia etc ). This allows you to do site specific searches without loading up the website first. Blessing in disguise.
A popular method of tethering your non-3G iPad with iPhone’s data connection is by installing MyWi and using it as a WiFi access point. The problem with using MyWi is that it uses WiFi which uses a lot of battery power. The solution to this problem is to use iTether which tethers your data connection using Bluetooth by creating a Personal Area Network ( PAN ). iTether has to be installed on the device which will connect to your iPhone with tethering enabled. When tethering is turned on, your iPad/iPod Touch or iPhone can easily connect to it and share the data connection.

Don’t read on if you hate Farmville. For all others, Christmas has come early. Farmville is a very popular Facebook game which lets you create a farm and then look after it. Since the game is made on Flash, a lot of people used it as an excuse to blast iPhone’s lack of the runtime. But recently at WWDC10, Farmville for iPhone was demoed on stage by Zynga.
