Hacking The IPhone: Here Come The GUIs
We mentioned it last week when it was initially released, but the “hello world” app for the iPhone is now available for mere mortals in GUI form. True, it still doesn’t do anything more than announce “hello world,” but the fact that it’s wrapped up in a GUI means that other, actually useful apps will probably start popping up in the very near future.
Other GUI options for iPhone junkies include iFuntastic, which allows you to install custom ringtones, rearrange the home menu and replace the AT&T logo with any 65 x 18 pixel PNG image.
Most of the rest of the hacks floating around the internet still require some command line input, though nearly all provide detailed instructions.
An interesting app/hack from Justin Schwalbe allows you to take any image from the web and make it the iPhone wallpaper. Yes, you can already do that, but it requires connecting to your computer, downloading and then syncing to include the downloaded images. Schwalbe’s hack allows you to download and use any image as a wallpaper, from the actual iPhone.
