Thanks again jtesnani. I now know what to expect and what to do once I have this software. Excellent. I just hope I don't run in to any problems with the pwning process.

Do you care if we post "Buy Leopard and install it on your PC" replies? Haha!

He wasn't saying to buy a Mac, he was just saying that the Windows version will come when the Devteam finishes it and that people have two options:

1. Wait patiently
2. Get a Mac

It sounds simple enough to me. It's exactly the same as if I was constantly asking when (insert PC only video game here) was coming out for Mac. I have a few options:

1. Wait patiently

Or

2. Buy a PC

OR

3. Install windows on my Mac (haha)

Funny how people keep saying Mac is NOT better than PC, but yet it appears that I have more options on Mac

Mac > PC

[pingwhen]

u dont have more options....... U can't even mod ur tower that much....

[jbrinker0328]

It just appears that way because of the way the options are listed. Windows users can install Mac OS's too. So, if you want to base your assessment of which system is better on how many options in the present scenario are available to both Mac and PC owners, then it's tied. The problem with that logic is that it is flawed and excludes any rational analysis. It would be like saying a PC mouse is better because it has more buttons than a Mac mouse does. That's just silly. It's all about preference anyway. Personally, the only reason I would ever use Leopard or OSX 10.XX is to mod my iPhone. So for me,
PC > Mac, but that is just my preference. However, my PC brethren are still acting like a bunch of whiney babies about when this tool is going to come out.

I want to clear up that I was joking. This forum has gotten very serious and angry and after reading about 34 pages of people getting angry or crying or asking questions that have already been answered, I figured I would pop a joke. I apologize because I thought it was obvious I was joking but after thinking about it I just ended up looking like an uneducated Eleventeen yr old.

BTW,

Serious question- How many PC users on here have actually tried a Mac (and I don't mean going to the Apple Store and using Photobooth. I mean ACTUALLY spent a good month at least using a Mac every day)?

I have used both systems as my major is Computer Science and most schools (the two I have been too) mainly use PCs for teaching programing, and I even used to own an IBM thinkpad T60p (if my memory serves me correctly) but had to return it to the school upon leaving and then purchased my Macbook Pro.

I love Apple and have since I was a little squirt, BUT I DO know about Windows. I prefer Mac but my JOKES towards PC are just that, jokes. No offense to anyone who chooses to use windows!

Have a great day all

I'm a life long PC user. I'd never used anything else until I dated a girl that owned a Powerbook G4. Once I got my hands on it, I lived on that thing. Day in and day out, I was on that Mac. I've been a devoted Mac fan ever since. To be honest, the fact that I'm a Mac enthusiast is the best thing that came out of that relationship, lol.

I also have a question... I'm not sure if this has been answered, or not. Please forgive me if it has. If it has been, don't flame me, just let me know it has. Simple as that. With this tool, will there be an option to change the image when you boot your phone? I know watching the video, they do it, but I haven't seen anything in a description that explains how to do it, or if it's even offered. Are we stuck with the image that they delegate? Anyways, thanks!

haha this HAS been answered numerous times. you can't "change' the image. however, you do have the option to not change it to the dev-team images. there is a thread in one of the iphone sections that tells you how to change the image to the retro apple one, but other than that, it's pineapple or original silver apple

Absolutely.

hey i pwned my fone and restored to a customized firmware. i tried 3 different ones and all of them messed up my mail app so that it wouldnt work. i tried resetting the permissions each time and still didnt work. did anyone else have this problem? it was the only problem i had.

and on another note, it is possible to put mac on a pc. i have a pc dual booting vista and mac and xp on my laptop. so when this came out i was able to use it. its quite simple to get mac on a pc now a days.

I've always gotten my bookmarks back after restoring from my backup on iTunes.

That's what I've done until I can afford a Mac Pro. I have Leopard 10.5.2 running on one of my hard drives and I use it most of the time now over my XP installation. I runs extremely well and fast, and runs everything I throw at it.

Well, I still think it's a bit of luck if you have generally compatible hardware or not. A lot of people are having a lot of trouble installed OSX on their PCs. I must have been one of the lucky ones...

Well, that's only if you restore with a backup as opposed to setting up a new phone. it's always recommended to set up a new phone as a previous backup may be problematic for a newly jailbroken phone, so i never recommend that. glad that it seems to have always worked well for you though; certainly would save a lot of time haha

I'm have at&t as carrier but will be switching to t-mobile, I was going to pawn my iphone this weekend and wondered if I do unlock it will I have any issues if I'm still using at&t ( have to coordinate with better half on when to switch).

Thanks

unlocking your phone will give you the option to use any GSM carrier you choose to. it won't have an affect on your AT&T sim/account

[jwaschbisch]

I've been having minor ringtone issues with my phone, I'm waiting out a restore for the release of the windows tools. Thanks for all the hard work devs

Name one thing you can do on your mac that I can't do on my Windows Machine.
