iPhone icons on steroids.

Not having ever used Last.fm on a regular basis as I don’t tend to listen to music while i’m working, I looked at MobileScrobbler with little interest. My interest grew when a couple of my friends couldn’t stop gushing about it, so I decided to download it off of Installer and give it a spin. After having used it for a couple of days now, consider me on the bandwagon. It’s like having your own personal radio station in your pocket. It connects to the Last.fm servers using wifi or edge. You have the option for MobileScrobbler to scrobble your music that your listening to and upload that info into your Last.fm profile or you can disable it altogether thru the menu. The best feature for me is being able to search for an artist and listening to some new stuff I hadn’t heard before along with info on the artist, accompanying lyrics, etc… Check it out on Installer if you love music.

Extract and upload the 3 files using your favorite sftp program into the Applications/Weather.app folder of your iPhone. The Default.png file is the picture that briefly shows while the weather application is starting. All the files are pre-named and will overwrite your existing backgrounds. Download link below.

If you’re one of the lucky ones who managed to score a new iPhone or iPod Touch for Christmas and are itching to start modding it with new applications, themes, skins or wallpaper, the first requirement is that you need to jailbreak your iPhone. Lifehacker has put up an excellent post on how to go about doing that. Once that’s done come back here and start modding to your hearts content.

If you’re feeling lucky,  point your iPhone to Chris Miles repository on Installer at: http://iphone.rustyredwagon.com/repo and give iSlots, a native iPhone slot machine game a try. Don’t forget to try the other programs from Chris like iSolitaire along with the skins i’ve developed if you haven’t already done so.
