App Store hacked! Free apps for jailbroken iPhones



So those of you with a jailbroken iPhone may have been looking longingly towards the App Store, wishing you could get in on some of that action. Sure, you've had some pretty cool applications for a while, but you want more. Well thanks to some crafty hackers, you can start getting games from the App Store for free.

The Fairplay DRM was hacked some time back, which is what protects the applications, however, it has been applied to the ever popular Super Monkey Ball. If you know where to look, you can grab yourself a copy of the game for free.

Granted, you're going to need to do a little work to make it happen. First, you have to have a jailbroken iPhone, then you'll have to SSH in to change a few permissions and such, as well as to transfer the game. Now it's only a matter of time before more and more apps start showing up like this.
