whats the reason to have a jailbroken iphone now if they are going to start charging also? now they are forcing into buying tweaks and stuff from cydia that most people just downloaded to see how it worked. some tweaks are not that good or have bugs. this is really just another app store in the making.

It's for the thousand of cool paid apps (which imo deserve a price tag) which have been rejected by apple. The whole point of this project is to give them a place to host there apps and make some money.

I agree with Sean. A lot of developers creates great apps that are rejected from the App Store, and pay them for useful things is a good choice. Now I hope see more and more creations on Cydia!

I agree whats the point of jailbreaking if we are just going to have to pay for the jailbroken apps? The fact that there were free apps that apple couldn't control is the whole reason i jailbroke in the first place.

If you want all apps to be free - develop them yourself. Otherwise, stop complaining! There is no such thing as a free lunch! BTW: How much is your time worth? There are plenty of FREE apps available jailbroken or regular apps. No one is twisting your arm to buy.

I second that..just another App store.
