how to get apps for free?

[GuitarGuy822]

My iPhone 3G is already jailbroken. What does installer and cydia actually do? I've tried searching for the app I want how would I go about getting it

search from within cydia or installer, simple as that.

If you mean apps from the app store for free, you can't. You need to buy those (unless they are free already).

The main point of jailbreaking your phone is to get unapproved apps that Apple won't allow. Not to steal apps available on the app store.

Get Intelliscreen, Categories, Winterboard, and some themes. It'll make your jailbreak worthwhile.

If you want App Store apps, bust out the credit card. It works wonders for picking up Apple approved apps.

Agreed with above. There are no free App Store apps, just apps that get around Apple's restrictions for developers.

What app are you looking for?

I know how to get the appstore apps for free, but I don't use the apps because that's stealing. I just pay for the ones I like or dig thru the free ones. Even if you do get them free, when you sync via iTunes it wipes them off anyways. It's a pain.

Is there any on-line source to see jailbroken apps? I'm awaiting delivery of my iPhone and want to research before it arrives.

loading things from Cydia, does that chew up your data usage? I put winterboard on my iphone whilst connected to the pc, does it go through the computer? sorry for my ignorance
