RWW broke a story with new AR apps for the iphone. I have not downloaded and played with them myself, but they look great, and its the next level of AR (for the iphone, since Android has had this for a bit) that we have been waiting for. This is a ‘killer app’ for AR if you will.

First is Cyclopedia (iTunes link). It looks pretty good from what I can tell. Its 2 bucks in the app store if you are a 3gs user. This has been out for a few months and I never heard of it. I do not seem to be the only one though. Seems that Chemical Wedding never bothered to tell anyone. And despite trying all day today, I could not get to the site. But it seems it would have been pointless since they do not even have a link to it in the Apple. Now this could be because they released it early before the 3.1 release and never got around to telling people once it became official? No idea.

This did not take long did it? But the funny thing is that it did not come from the Dev-team, but instead instead from George Hotz. Now this is windows only (sorry mac people) but I’m sure it will be ported soon enough. Now remember this is 3.0, so if you are running the 3.1 SDK, dont use this. I’ve also heard this is compatible with ultrasn0w, so that should keep unlock options open. WARNING though, winter board does not work with this unlock. Not sure why. So I would view this as an experimental break unless your like me and like to keep you iphone clean of everything but functional software.
I have not tried it myself because I have been holding back on the buying the 3GS. But I’m also not that thrilled because I’m still hoping 3.1 will fix my cell issues, and that may delay breaking 3.1 once Apple finds out. Most likely I will make the leap, but I want to give this latest jailbreak a few days out in the wild. I may also wait for a proper version from the Dev-team. Well see. Course, I still need to decide to keep or sell my current phone. 
So here are the steps..
Make sure you have the latest iTunes installed, and an iPhone 3GS with 3.0 firmware. Connect your iPhone normally. Click “make it ra1n”. Wait. On bootup, run Freeze, the purplera1n installer app. Hopefully you’ll figure out what to do from there. Best tutorial gets linked to from purplera1n site. This tool is beta. Make sure to have everything backed up before running. Also if Cydia doesn’t show up after running Freeze, reboot.

Now if you want more detail, this looked like a well kept up site..
