It will be interesting to see if the Cydia Store is a success. I hope for Jays sake that it is!!
See, that’s what I love about living in the same town as Saurik and that other dude who made the Cydia Store, I know that “Tonight” actually means tonight.
Also, I don’t really want a Cydia Store, even though it is good for people who make great cydia applications to get a rightful amount of credit.
I hope people don’t stop making free apps but i think its cool that he might make a little bit of money for his hard work that he has done and helps to divide all the pay apps from the free ones.
It’ll be funny if Cydia Store makes more money than App Store.
but it wont, in appsotre is more than 20.000 apps published already
Also, for payed app, I hope to have paypal as paying option.
BUT, we always welcome free app, with donation option.
It will succeed but not make money than the App store.
This is where we will have such gems as:
Themes
Video
camera apps like Snapture
cut/copy/paste extensions
SouthPark app
background GPS (if you don’t like the reduced battery life turn off “push” services and/or get a battery pack
alternate browsers
adult content (I am neither criticizing nor praising this concept – just that as an adult I am allowed to purchase adult content)
Please start dating your posts. “Tonight”. What does that mean. How is anyone supposed to know when that was posted? Also, when researching on your site, there is no date reference to anything. How hard is it to date a post?
If you look next to the title of the post it has an iPhone like calendar icon which displays the month in the red bit and the day in the white.
Boy am I stupid…
Yes, I understand that mattyb 123, but which year?
Yes. The year should be there. As time passes and people dig deeper to research things, the year should be there.
He is still working on the release….the info has been updated to “Soon” instead of “Tonight.” So, we will see.
The new site design will have the full date.
Also. Assuming “tonight” meant March 6, 2009, where is it? It’s March 7. I don’t have any idea where this is.
It hasn’t been released yet…he is still working on it.
Actually the way it works is the firmware your running is a something apple letting you use and actually is copyrighted and so what your doing is actually modifying their copyrighted firmware which is actually illegal, it isnillegal to even have cydia/installer sitting on your springboard because it means you have modified their firmware which makes it illegal, and I used benall for jailbreaking butnhey it’s illegal andnyoyrngpimgntonhavendeal with it, because unless your running 2.0 ornaomething, which you bought it
Might not benillegal but still it might me illegal, and you know your kinds out in the open, because evryone knows you guys have jailbroken iPhones, so just give it a thought.
how could apple even stop the Cydia store, copy right law, how could they possibly enforce it. Saurik could merely base the store in a country where that law is not enforced. Apple is just jealous Saurik’s one man programing force will create a far superior store.
If Apple needs something to do, go after AT&T, tell them to boost there darn coverage and stop having the iphone display bars when there is clearly no service. AT&T, your world, disconnected.
I disagree. That’s like saying I can’t install programs on my mac or pc. The iPhone is just a computer.
What does this word mean “andnyoyrngpimgntonhavendeal “? How about “benillegal”?
So it’s kind of hard to give your post a thought…
What are you reading?!?
A post from a person named Beanbag, directly above mine.
Also, what does “ornaomething” mean?
Will it be on the app store
No, it is just an update to the current Cydia application to allow support of payment processing.
Cydia store has opened …Yuhuuu
I think this is great and I hope Apple stays away from it. Jailbroken programs have a much greater chance of being really useful because they are not constrained by the Apple “apps” API. And by making it easier for jailbroken developers to make some money, we’ll hopefully see much better apps coming out. ( Not that the free and not free ones already available aren’t pretty nice already )
i just bought my first cydia store item. Authroized myself with facebook and paid with amazon (only current payment option). I don’t even care what the app does, just want to help out Saurik on this endeavor. I took screen shots of the process.
here’s a link to screen shots

Well for your mac of pc it’s different because you bought the os but for the iPhone you didn’t
Butnhey in all three example – in fact any OS case you pay for the USE of the OS (a “license”) and do not ‘own’ it so andnyoyrngpimgntonhavendeal with it, in my opinion.
