Bell has an expensive pocket-emptying streaming app that is disabled to use WiFi so it can leach your 3G bandwidth.
JustinTV is good for selected broadcasts, but I don't know of an other. I'd like to know too. |

JustinTv has an app? I didn't know that. I am mostly interested in streaming sports. |

DOJ and/or FTC may launch antitrust inquiry against Apple for developer policies |
This may be the best thing to happen to Apple since the lockdown; developers are the iPhone's bread and butter, without them the whole ecosystem starves, and Apple's been doing everything they can to systematically alienate them.
Apple wants to make themselves content gatekeepers, and that ideal is dead in the internet age - it didn't work for AOL fifteen years ago, and Microsoft nearly got sued out of existence for even appearing like they might possibly be trying to pull a stunt like that at some point in the distant future.
I'm sure that 99% of iPhone users won't care, but the buzz in the development community is markedly different. People are pissed. A lot of developers were using the Flash compiler and the new terms technically ban MonoTouch too.
I'm anti-anti-trust, always have been, the governments really have no business meddling in Apple's... er, business; but getting Apple to take a chill pill here would actually be good for Apple. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. |

I'm pretty sure Apple has investagated the first day jailbreak scene was born to see if this was the case. They do take privacy seriously, look at all the GPS warnings they give you with any type of 1st and 3rd party apps access the GPS chip.
Apple would love to shutdown the jailbreak scene if they can use this a weapon. |

Lol, "hackers", people still use that word?
It's not much different from the apps you use to disable ads on MSN messenger. The people who make them are programmers, same as the people who actually write the "normal" apps you run all the time. |

Windows users:
Troubleshooting: If you're getting error code c0000005, apparently setting compatibility mode to Windows 98 or 95 allows Spirit to work. |

To think of it, all the 3GS that couldn't reboot must of faced some ram and batt damages by now.
Flushing & respring the springboard only helps 50% of clearing the ram. It's best to reboot at least once a day. It also helps the batt with rebooting and turning it off @ night. |
