Apple Doesn't Like BitTorrent, Bans Drivetrain From the App Store (technologyviewer.com)

Is there any alternative "app store" where users can get applications without Apple's censorship?

I don't need Drivetrain in particular, but there seem to be many good app ideas that Apple does not like / approve.


Yes, I think you just have to jailbreak the iPhone


[Cydia Store]


Thanks.

Found more info re. Cydia at http://www.iphonedownloadblog.com/2008/10/28/cydia-applicati... - comments to the article are interesting.


Apple has a history of not allowing BT apps: http://andrewdupont.net/2005/07/17/functionality/

That, and Transmission's existing Web UI is actually incredibly slick on the iPhone: http://smokingapples.com/software/tutorials/managing-your-to...
