The “I Am Rich” Application costing $999 which was nothing more than a glorified screensaver has now been removed from the apple app store. But not before 8 people apparently purchased it.

One of those apparently by accident. We spotted this review of the app:

Apple has finally released the highly anticipated SDK for iPhone’s and iPod touch. To download them you need an apple developer account head over to:
http://developer.apple.com/ and sign up for an account.
Requirements:

• Mac OS X Leopard
• An Intel-based Mac
• Xcode
• a free Apple iPhone developer account and the SDK itself — note that access to the SDK is not going to cost you ninety-nine bucks. It’s free, though getting the application approved and out onto devices will set you back the $99.

Aplle will also be releasing Firmware 2.0 in June, including an app store and were hoping to see alot of apps available form the start, and several Enterprise level updates, such as:

• Push Email
• Push Calender
• Push Contacts
• Remote Wipe
• 802.x

For full details of the SDK and Firmware 2.0 check out the apple presentation video of when it was all unveiled

Firmware 2.0 will be free for iPhone users to upgrade but will cost a “nominal” fee for iPod touch users “due to accounting being different”. We would suspect 2.0 to come with the additional iPhone apps that were released in January for $20 to iPod touch users, so if your planning on buying those we suggest you hang on until June.

MapIdle is an iPhone application that simulates “Push Email” with your IMAP server. It’s in its early stages but the current features are:

- listens in the background waiting for new IMAP mail even if you are in sleep/standby mode
- notifies you via a popup and/or sound. You choose how to be notified. Sound notification should use the same method your mail client uses (ie: if you have vibrate on, it’ll vibrate as well)
- popup notification allows you to choose whether the mail client should check for email right there. NOTE: Don’t choose this if you are in the mail client as it will exit (you’ve been warned). The popup will disappear after 20 seconds and if you miss it the iMapIdle icon will show you how many popup notifications you have missed
- supports SSL connections and special support for GMail IMAP

Download

If you have jailbreaked your ipod touch and run out of space installing apps this guide will show you how to change it so your only limited by the space left on your drive.

Following the instruction herein mmands below will remove your application space limitation so that you’re only limited by the device’s drive.. Your apps will share the same space available to your media files.

WARNING : Allthough this method is verified as working, you do this at your own risk!

SSH into your iPod touch using an SSH client. If you dont have one allready we suggest you use putty.

Now you need to move your applications folder to the /private/var folder by entering the following:

mv /Applications /private/var/Applications

Change the directory to “/” by typing:

cd /

Then create a symbolic link to the Applications folders new location:

ln -s /private/var/Applications Applications

Enter the following to list the directory of “/”. This is to check the symbolic link was created correctly:

ls -la

In the list that comes up, you should have an entry similar to this one:

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 17 Oct 11 08:15 Applications -> /private/var/Applications

That should be it…all you have to do now is restart your iPod touch!

What will you need?:
iPhone Apps
SFTP Program
WiFi Connection
Your iPod Touch’s IP Address

Once you have downloaded the iphone applications, your download folder should contain the following files:

• GMM.framework
• Maps.app
• MobileMail.app
• MobileMailSettings.bundle
• MobilesNotes.app
• N45AP.plist
• Stocks.app
• Weather.app

You will also need an FTP program that supports SFTP to add the applications to your ipod touch:

• Windows: WinSCP
• Mac: Cyberduck
  

To find out your ip address go to: Settings>Wi-Fi then Under “Choose a Network” press the arrow on the right of your network connection and make a note of your ip address.

The default login for the ipodtouch is:

• User: root
• Pass: alpine

After you have extracted the iphone files you will need to SFTP into your ipod touch and place them in the following locations:

** CHMOD all files to 755 **

Weather.app, MobileMail.app, Stock.app, Maps.app, MobileNotes in:
/Applications/

GMM.framework in:
/System/Library/Frameworks/

N45AP.plist in:

Reboot your iPod Touch after transferring all the files across.
