While the hacker community doesn’t have a ton of native applications for the iPhone out yet, there are some gems available such as Doom available for the OS X-based phone. The only issue with these hacks are that, well, they’re hacks. You need to be a hacker just to get them on your phone. But a new installer is helping many of us non-hacker iPhone users get some of the over a dozen applications onto our phone.
Logically titled, Installer.app is a free little utility that, yes, you need to install on your iPhone via command line. BUT after that, it’s Install City right on your iPhone via Wi-Fi! With Installer.app you can download and install applications right from the iPhone itself. You can also update and un-install all from your phone. Using the UIKit, Installer.app may be the way to get all these and future applications onto your phone until the next Apple firmware, sure to kill this great utility, or until Apple itself opens the doors to third-party applications. Give it a try. It’s free!
