Android for Iphone 4 and 3gs is COMING SOON.!

When the iDroid Project was first launched it was only available for Iphone 2G and 3G, and the news that it wasn't available for Iphone 3GS,and A4 devices such as Ipad and Iphone4 made it look bad for some unsatisfied users who wanted Android on their devices.But not anymore, on a forum post at ModmyI user Joshua Tucker has published an interview with the founder of the Droid Project - Nick Pack for the availability on the Iphone 3GS and Iphone 4.

NICK: Work on the A4 port started late last year, but progress was slow due to there being a lack of skilled developers on the team to work on it. In the recent few weeks, the port has accelerated drastically. The 3GS port was started a couple of months back but lessons learned from the A4 port helped to bring it inline quickly. Due to the nature of the project, it is completly impossible to estimate just how long these things take. This is mainly due to the sheer volume of reverse engineering that has to be done, but we are working with largely undocumented and uncommon hardware so it comes with the territory.

You can now search Cydia from your desktop: "Cydia Search"

Looking for the perfect Cydia jailbreak app on the iPhone, a frustratingly slow experience. Searching cydia apps relieves pain by browsing through the plethora of Cydia apps by category, author or repository, all from the comfort of a desktop browser. If you know what you want, you can search by name, description, author, version or one of the many other search filters, which are short shrift to find what you need to make.
 Once you have located a package you're interested, you can look at who wrote it, the price, the current version, the repository is stored on, and assessment of the actual item Cydia as it looks on an iPhone.
While this is not the first implementation of a desktop interface Cydia - ModMyi also provides a searchable front end for Cydia on the desktop - Cydia Search provides a fast, slick experience well worth checking out.
You can find it here.

LIMA the new Cydia alternative that is browser-based

.
While Cydia App Store has been the choice for iOS jailbreakers , and very few  argue that competition is needed in the jailbreaking scene. The competition is precisely what Lima is committed to, and has its own personal touch - is based on a browser.
Is being developed by Infini Dev Team (the same guys behind Icy return), Lima is an interesting idea. While not yet ready for prime time, embedded video shows one of the potential pros - speed.
We're not sure if Lima will continue to be so fast when they go live, but I hope. A network based on the App Store has its own advantages as well.
Applications may be linked and opened directly on the device like iTunes, and updates the sense in theory, could be done much faster. While we do not know how to go to Lima in shape, or even when we know more competition for Cydia can only be a good thing either in the form of Lima, icy or something else.
