I was planning to review BootNeuter together with the release of WinPwn.
But as it still hasn’t been released due to several little bugs that the developer want’s to fix, i will go ahead and review the BootNeuter app first.

I’ve had a lot of people who ask me, what is BootNeuter and why do i need it.

First let me explain what it does.

BootNeuter let’s you switch between bootloaders (for info about bootloader and baseband go here).

So why do i want to switch bootloader? Without going into to much technical details (if you’d like, we can talk about this, just drop me a mail), for improved Google Location and improved battery life if you’re running 1.1.3 or 1.1.4.

People who are running older firmware versions, should not upgrade to the BL 4.6

Ok now that we have that out of the way, let’s discuss this neutering thing.

Now this is a nice initiative.

Sometimes it’s a little bit hard to type fast on your iPhone keyboard. Especially the autocorrection has it’s downsides.

The guys and girls from Typingweg created a website that will help you to speed up your typing abilities on the virtual keypad.

You can try it yourself here.

It’s a really nifty online app. I saw myself improving after some lessons from 8 words to almost 16 words per minute. Ok i can type faster on my keyboard of my pc or mac, but for my iPhone this is getting much better :)

See some screenshots of how it works.

JohnG and GeorgeA have release a very nice app to see the full stats of your calls.
The app iCalls gives you the details of all incoming and outoging calls.

The app itself is still in its early releases but this app promises to be very good when they have added some extra functionality.

This app is very handy if you have a calling plan with a number of minutes or a prepaid card, and you don’t want to pay extra.

Let’s have a look.

We all want to backup our iPhone/iPod Touch sooner or later.

The guys from Databinge.be released another very nice app.
With TimeCapsule you can backup almost every aspect of you iPhone/iPod Touch.

Pysl stands for Protect your secret life. And that’s exactly what this app promises to do.

The app promises some really nifty features, however none of them seem to be working for now.

I must say that the interface looks very nice so far, the responsiveness is not quite ok, but it’s only version 0.31.

For more information you can go to the developers site.

I’ll show you some screenshots no how to configure the app.
Please keep in mind that this is still very very beta software!

I’ll guide you trough the program with some screenshots.

BossTool is just one of those tools you really need if you’re installing a lot of applications.

The application only has 3 options, but they make a hell of a difference.
Remember that you need the BSD subsytem to make this app work.
