Once installed and customized, it allows you to download data off the Internet and store it on your iPhone or iPod touch local disk. You can download mp3 files, zip archives and much more. It was avaliable for old firmwares (1.1.4 and below). Now 2.0 users can use it too. Avaliable through Cydia Installer.

Garafa's GPSKit for iPhone provides you with more advanced GPS functionality and tracking for your iPhone:

• Dashboard - see real time information (speed, direction, coordinates, etc)
• Tracks - save your path, view in Google Earth or Maps

While GPSKit's solution is $9.99, there are other applications on the App Store that provide portions of similar functionality:

• GPS Tracker - real-time tracking service
• Speed - real time speedometer
• PathTracker - real time stats, save your path, also for runners/bikers
• Speedster GPS - speed and altitude in real time
• gpsCompass - real time stats
• Distance Meter - distance tracker
• iTrail - distance and path tracker for runners/bikers
• RunKeeper - track running/biking paths and stats

Apple has just seeded iPhone 2.1 beta 4 to developers—uninteresting, really, except for the fact that the push notification service has been pulled from the release "for further development."

Targeted to hit your iPhone in September, the push service allows apps to receive notifications (internet data) in the background while they're not running, a godsend for AIM and other messaging apps. Hopefully this doesn't mean it'll be delayed.

This iPhone application is for sending MMS. It works, there are some bugs, but I was able to send MMS. New version has minot bugfixes. It is still only for firmware 1.1.4 nd below. No 2.0 support yet.

You can download it from Installer 3 or Cydia.
