Have you been thinking of jailbreaking your iPhone just because you want to try some of those Installer apps? Well now you can get those apps without jailbreaking it! Ripdev has this neat application for Mac (soon coming to windows): InstallerApp.
One of my favorite packages
The price of this piece of software is $7, which is more than fair to me. Here are the 2 features I liked the most (taken from their site):
Support for Both Installing Solutions
Now you don’t have to make a choice between alternative installers, you can get the best of both worlds, Installer and Cydia — InstallerApp supports both! Just add a your favorite repository in the Preferences window and application will automatically recognize its type and will show the packages from that repository, so you’ll be able to download packages to your computer and install them to a USB-connnected iPhone.
Built-in Pusher
InstallerApp comes with free built-in Pusher — software that can install Installer.app on your iPhone without “jailbreaking” it, so you can use App Store and Installer simultaneously without putting your private data at risk. By default Pusher will not install a set of command-line utilities and unlock the system partition as it’s usually is done by some popular jailbreak solutions and may lead to additional instability of the iPhone software, but it will do so if that is what you want.
Anyway, It works with both iPhones, and as soon as a jailbreak comes out for the 3.0 firmware they’ll support it. iPod Touch is not supported, only iPhones
