Jailbreak iPhone apps: Cyntact

Cyntact
Add pictures to Apple's contact list. The iPhone's built-in contact directory lets you store pictures that pop up when someone calls. Cyntact displays those pictures in the scrolling listing itself, allowing you to find contacts rapidly by facial recognition. $1

Apple, to a large degree with the iPhone, has become the epitomy "Big Brother" they warned us about in that 1984 like commerical. Telling you what you can and cannot have on your iPhone? Take a look at the Nokia line of phones (especially the E71 unlocked from Nokia). I can pretty much install anything I would like on that phone and I don't have to get Nokia or AT&Ts permission to do it. I can even install Python interpreter on it and fairly quickly write my own programs. Can't do that with iPhone.

If Apple doesn't want Bargain Bin on your phone, perhaps they should not offer it as a free app in the App Store.
