In fact to imply that all 3party programers are hacks and lack coding skills in awfully short sighted... MANY MANY apps that are currently offered on the app store are up there because of the 3party programers put their apps up! Same programs. In the long run putting apps on your iphone requires the same thought process you should use when installing on your computer... "what will this program do for me.. and to me...." @Shea Just because apple is hosting the applications does not make them any more battery smart or safer than 3party apps on jailbroken phones (example: I am Rich).

You cannot get this from 3rd party jailbroken apps as far as I know. The hassle of constantly crashing and buggy software is nowhere near as bad on the app store as it was previously for jailbroken phone prior to OS 2.0 being released for the iphone. Not to mention your already crappy battery life will suffer even more at the hands of developers who lack sufficient coding skills to ensure proper power management on the iphone.
