You know one thing I hate? How stingy companies like Microsoft are when it comes to OS updates.

I mean, take my last Pocket PC, my bad ass HP RX3715. I had bought it shortly before the Windows Mobile 5 came out. It was running on the Pocket PC 2003 OS. I got it shortly before Windows Mobile 5 OS came out.

No prob, just upgrade to the new OS (it had barely any changes, but did affect programs). But nope, “No OS for you!”. Why? Because the model stop production right before the OS update came out. This Pocket PC was far more powerful and more feature-packed than mostly all Pocket PCs being released with Windows Mobile 5. But, “No OS for you!”.

Why is this? Because they try to force sales of new Pocket PCs. “Got a 400 MHz CPU Pocket PC with the older OS? You need to upgrade to a 200 MHz Pocket PC with the new OS!”. Man, ‘freak you Microsoft!

Serious, talk about not caring about their users or about creating a thriving community. They simply cared about business smucks that don’t even buy their own devices because their companies throw money at’em for whatever hightech garbage they wanna’ buy. So they forced Pocket PC users, like me, to be stuck for years with error messages about installing programs and other crap (“This program isn’t designed for this version…”).

You couldn’t even get a hacked version of the OS. It’s not that there wasn’t demand for it either. People were askin’ for it, but everyone was outta’ luck.

That’s why I love iPhones and Apple’s approach towards it. They released one iPhone… then released another. But do they ban the first, older iPhone from getting updates? ‘Freak no! And with this new OS 3.0, that’s being designed for the rumored third new iPhone? Are they making that exclusive for the new iPhone? ‘Freak no… it’s avaliable for all versions of iPhones.

That’s why people enjoy iPhones. The new OS update, am I going to get the latest version for my first generation iPhone? You bet. Microsoft has been screwin’ it’s Pocket PC users over for years and it ends with iPhones.

Hey Microsoft… ‘freak you…

So this is weird, about every week iTunes has been sending me bills to my email. For what? For my purchase of… free apps. What gives?

Well it’s not a big deal really, as long as they’re not charging, it’s cool. Just a little ‘freaky gettin’ a bill.

Apple really outta’ cut that **** out.

Peace, J

So ok, I’m responding to one of the top searches I get at theneocell.com.

“i cant uninstall sbsettings”

I’m assuming most of you know how to uninstall jailbroken apps. You do it through Cydia. You load it up, wait for it to go through all it’s “Loading Data” crap, then go to “Manage”, “Packages”, find “SBSettings”, then hit “Modify” then “Remove”.

But let’s assume there’s some of you out there that are havin’ issues uninstallin’ it. Sucks you be you man… I had used a theme for SBSettings. Now when I uninstalled it, it said it was going to remove the theme files too. Great. But if some of you are havin’ uninstall issues, try removing the theme files first, then try removing SBSettings.

What about if you’re still havin’ issues beyond that? I hate people who say “Restore your iPhone”. Screw that, that’s not an option, that’s a last resort. If you ever have to do that (never once had to do it myself), then you pretty much give up. What you can do is contact the makers, Bigboss, themselves. Their email is bigboss@thebigboss.org. There aren’t any known issues uninstalling SBSettings, so that’s why you’d have to hit them up.

Man, this sorta’ pisses me off. According to these guys, 2G iPhones, like the sexy-*** Neocell, won’t get ******’ MMS. MMS, you know, picture text messages.

This doesn’t effect me much because I hate… hate… texting and refuse to do it or pay for it. But I care about my 2G brethren bein’ able to do MMS.

Did you check out some of that article?Well they talk about doin’ all this crazy hardware research ‘n’ all this crap contacting hardware chip companies and stuff, just to find out if iPhone 2G’s are able, hardware wise, to send out MMS messages.

Are these nerds dumb *****?? Of course 2G iPhones can, ‘freak, there are jailbroken apps (like SwirlyMMS) that can send MMS. Serious, I knew about SwirlyMMS before I even got an iPhone.

What a stupid waste of time these ‘freakers put people through. Thousands of people send MMS messages from their iPhones, and at least half are 2G iPhones. How is it not one person stopped to think about the people who have been using MMS on 2G all this time? ******’ dip ****. Of course 2G iPhones can do MMS, you didn’t discover ****.

But the news about OS 3.0, it’s not new news… but I was waiting to see if it changed. Guess it hasn’t.

Don’t worry though, you’ll be able to do MMS, just via a jailbroken app. Or who knows, the designers of our jailbroken OS may crack it so we can use the stock MMS program. That’d be nice because it’s got video MMS upload features I’ve heard.
