Hi,

It's also worth pointing out that the most widely spoken about piece
of "Malware" (Incorrect term used by the media in this situation) that
you can be hit with after you've jailbroken relates to people who have
installed a ssh server and not changed the password.
Trust me when I say that you won't install a SSH server by accident.
In the same way that you won't ever open the app store, search for an
app, find it and then install it, all by accident. There have been
(And probably always will be) people that will install openSSH without
really knowing what it is; perhaps without even reading the
description of it in Cydia. In the nicest way possible, for these
people, a bit of real world education in the form of datatheft is
probably the only way they will learn to stop and think before they do
something. It's true that the stop and think mentality isn't as much
of an issue if you're not jailbroken, but it's a good attitude to
adopt full stop and not just when you're using your smartphone.

The people that argue that jailbreak apps can steel your data are
correct, but again, this is extremely unlikely to happen when using
the default repositories in Cydia. It's also important to remember
that Apple don't have access to the source code of any of the apps
they approve so its entirely possible (But unlikely) that the exact
thing could happen when you install an Apple approved app. Long time
subscribers will be aware of the amount of tethering apps that have
been approved because they've been diskised as something more mundain
like a flashlight - if Apple had access to the source code and
inspected it, this would not happen.
Getting back to the jailbreak apps issue, you're far more likely to
experience security related problems if you add other repositories to
Cydia which there usually isn't any need to do and again, you won't
ever do it inadvertently. For me this really isn't a problem, as it
fairly closely mirrors life in general. If you walk through a rough
area at night, you're far more likely to run into problems. If you buy
food from a restaurant that seems shady, guess what, it's probably not
going to be that great and there could even be repercussions in the
future.
You don't (Or shouldn't imo) restrict your lifes activities to those
that your parents have approved for you (Age permitting) and generally
speaking, you will excersise good judgement before you make any
decissions throughout your life, so personally, I really see no reason
why things should be different when you use an iPhone.

I've never said that jailbreaking is for everyone and I never will.
The problem that new users often run into is that they're served a lot
of speculation by some people (Not targeting you here sieghard) on
this list who really have no experience or even worse knolige of
jailbreaking, so the questioner receives missinformation.

Just some food for thought; others will doubtless disagree.

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi, if you are using iOS 6 then jailbreaking it isn't worth it. Please
Google for the differences between tethered and untethered jailbreaks
and it will be more clear. Basically right now untethered jailbreaks for
iOS 6 are not available.

Good luck.

I too have a lot of respect for Sieghard, however, I do have a

a huge problem on Android. I'd agree it's more of an issue than it isonApple, but I wouldn't say it's huge. I wouldn't think it's anydifferent

than Windows or a jail broken iPhone, where if you just practice some
common sense, you can avoid most of the problems caused by malware.

Hi there all. I always respect what Sieghard has to say on listbecause

he is obviously very knowledgeable and has demonstrated that he knows
what he is talking about. That being said, here is the other side of
the
view on jailbreaking. I'm a happy jailbreaker and while Sieghard's
points are very much valid, not all apps from the Cydia store, (the
jailbreak app store), are harmful. It's true that you have to be a bit
more careful about what you get, but as long as you know what you

install, and as long as you remove something that causes lock upsafter

installing it so you don't forget what did it in the first place, then
jailbreaking is a beautiful experience. To give an example, I'm still
running iOS 5.1.1 on my iPhone 4S, but it's not just because the
untethered jailbreak isn't available for iOS 6, it's also because most

of the functionality that you get with iOS 6 is already available tomein iOS 5.1.1 due to the various jailbreak apps or tweaks. At thispoint

I would say that the main feature of iOS 6 that I don't get are the
Apple Maps, but from what I've discovered so far from my wife's and
daughter's iPhones using iOS 6, I'm not missing much. For maps and gps
programs I use a combination of either Navigon or Google Maps or Waze

GPS, together with Ariadne GPS. I can copy mp3 files to my iPhone asif

it was a usb stick and still use the normal music app to listen to
them.

I have a much more reliable do not disturb feature which can beappliedto a single contact or a group of contacts, and most importantly, Icantheme my phone to use custom sounds for everything and I can useGoogle

Voice fully integrated as if my Google Voice number was my real iPhone
number.

I hope this other viewpoint helps.

PS, Sieghard, perhaps one day you and I can play devil's advocate and
you can convince me why jailbreaking would be good, and I can do the
opposite. <smile>.

I am sure you will receive plenty of replies from experienced
Jailbreakers
as to how to do it. However, keep in mind that if you upgraded to iOS
6 you

are not able to do an untethered Jailbreak yet which means even ifyou

find
a Jailbreak, you would have to plug in your phone to the computer
should it
crash or should you want to reboot it since if y ou rebooted it
without
having it plugged in, it would not work. I am sure there will be an
untethered Jailbreak coming up, but it's not here yet.

Hi Mohammed,

Although there are currently no applications in the App Store which
will
make your iPhone vibrate as you type on the keyboard, there are a few
options available for iPhone users who have done a successful
jailbreak on
their phones. After a jailbreak, you'll have access to the Cydia
application
store on your device -- a store of non-Apple approved applications
that many
users find very useful for enhancing their phone's functionality. In
the
Cydia store, you will find multiple applications for making your
iPhone
vibrate as you type, a feature known as haptic feedback.

Where did you hear about this app? Was it Applevis? When I did the
google
search for "Key Vibrate App" the Applevis link to that app came up as
well,
but it states also that it is a Jailbreak app.

Lastly, just as a general comment, keep in mind that if you hearabout

a
particular app you may not find it in your country's App Store as not
all

apps are available in all countries. I am not sure where you live,but

if
you are looking for a particular app and can't find it at all it's
always a
good idea to do a google search for that app or simply ask google "In
which
countries is the so and so app available". Chances are you will find
the
information.


Regards,
Sieghard

Hello.

I do not have a stream, but have converted quite a few books frommobi

to
epub using ebook-convert and read those books in iBooks. I have found
that
the author and title fields are maintained, at least for iBooks.
It may well be that they were malformed on the Mobi, that the Stream
doesn't
read them properly, or that ebook-convert is doing something strange
and out

of standard which is effecting the title/author fields for thestream.

All I
can say is that iBooks seems to have no issue with these fields.
HTH.

When you do this conversion, does it transfer the book title and
author?

I've run across some epub books that have been converted this way.On

my

Hi.
Though I agree that Calibre is an excellent book manager, its GUI is
not
accessible to any screen reader. However, it can be used to convert
books
from mobi to epub through the command line, which is accessible. See
http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/ebook-convert.html
for instructions. I have a Pithon script which, when a mobi file is
clicked,
will convert the file to Epub and put it in a temporary directory. If
anyone
wants this, let me know.

It is possible to set a bookmark with VO on, but it's a littleclunkyright now. You need to press the text area and hold for a second.And

then you'll have the option to Define, Bookmark and Highlight. A

bookmark is always set at the beginning of the paragraph you'll on.A

highlight is set on the sentence. So even it is imprecise because
you'll see the exact Word you're pressing, in the end it'll be close
enough. Once you set a bookmark, you can go back to it using the
Bookmark menu, which lets you navigate to a autogenerated chapter,
bookmark, or highlight.

I'm going to add a "Bookmark" button in the next release so you can
set a Bookmark at the speech cursor without having to invoke the
context menu by long press.

Winston.

Thanks Winston, I figured you had gotten it but were busy with other

things so it's cool. Glad to know that a lot of folks are using it,I

have found the bookmarks chapter marks and such very usable for
navigation and have used this since I have gotten it more than
read2go
because it does recognize more formats, and has more voices with
everything. Keep up the great work and I hope to see some great
things

from you guys in the future. I noticec the textbox and that ishandy.

The only thing is, how does one set bookmarks in a particular book,
or
is it possible with voiceover yet. I can get to all the bookmarks
that
are automatically generated but didn't know if I could set my own. I

haven't explored the chapter marks yet and was wondering if that isa

separate setting or how that works, but I use a lot of the
automatically  generated bookmarks to navigate with now which is
nice.
Anyway, thanks again for getting back to me, and keep up the great
work.
I'm
recommending it to not only blind and visually impaired patrons of
mine since I work for the Library for the Blind here in Alabama, but
I
am also recommending it to students with learning disabilities that
are on bookshare and even if they're not to use the app because of
all
it does provide for the price especially. I'm hooked and hope to see
more great updates and features as you can. Thanks for a great
product
and keep up the great work.
Take care and talk to you soon.
