Cydia tweak for installing newer apps on older iOS versions?
details
I recently dug my first generation iPhone out of a drawer and wanted to install some apps on it but most apps these days require at least iOS 4 to run. Is there a Cydia tweak that I can get to install these apps? I know not everything will work properly in the app via a hack like this but is it possible?

Best apps for backing up iPhone call logs, SMS, and other iOS user data?
details
I've been using iOS since back in the day when it was called "iPhone OS" (i.e. 1.0 - 3.0), and I recently realized that I've never done a full manual restore of my iPhone system state. Everything I've got on my device(s) have been carried with me through successive backups and upgrades and each new iPhone release since 2007. Call me crazy, but there's got to be a lot of junk in there gumming up the works. (For more on that topic, see this awesome thread on bit-rot:... Read more →

Have you used "Whited00r" on an old iOS device?
details
Apple (and many other hardware manufacturers) often leave their early adopters and those using older hardware behind when they push out new operating system updates. One particularly sore point is with mobile devices. Those still using the original iPhone or iPhone 3G cannot run the latest builds of iOS 4 (and soon, iOS 5). However, there is apparently an option for those of you yearning for new software. It's a custom firmware build called Whited00r. I've actually never heard of it until I just... Read more →

Do you ever regret getting rid of your older "game-changing" gadgets?
details
I know I tagged this post with a few Apple products -- but this can really apply to any gadget. Recently, I was reflecting on this though. I sold my 2nd-gen iPod (which was the first Apple product I ever owned and started me on the long, sad path to Apple fanboyism) to a coworker a few years ago. In hindsight, I kind of regret it. It was a 20GB drive, monochrome screen, and I think I sold it for ~$50. But I remember when I first set my hand on it, how awesome and incredible I thought this device... Read more →

i just got an iphone first gen from somebody on craigslist and i already have a sim card and i want to just take it from my phone and put it in the iphone but…
details
when i do that and plug up the iphone. it asks me for billing information. i think that this might be something to just varify that the sim card wasnt stolen and tryin to be put in a different phone. but it also might be another activation and cost me something or just put a bunch of fees and charges on my bill. will that actually happen or is it just a security thing? if it will cost anything. what might it cost?

Was the iPhone a surprise, like the iPad?
details
I understand that everyone knew that both of them were coming for a long time, but when Steve Jobs introduced the iPad everything he showed was something the public had not seen before. The iPad only appeared in two spyshots, that came out the DAY BEFORE the announcement, were blurry, and the design of the iPad was obscured. I was not as into tech as much back then (my obsessions heightened a lot mainly that year), so what I want to know is, when Steve Jobs came out at Macworld 2007, had the...
