After a flurry of emails, tweets, text messages, IMs, and a live video stream, there are now several members of The Simulcast as well as lots of our community members with jailbroken iPhones. Since this has become such a hot topic this week, and experiences vary widely with the actual process and usage afterwards, I thought it would be a great topic for our show this week.
We will discuss the hacking process, how it works, and our own personal experiences. We’re also looking for questions from our audience that we can help answer in regards to unofficial ROMs and jailbreaking on a variety of devices. I personally have lots of experience with Windows Mobile and iPhone, but we can certainly bring in experts for other devices should your questions warrant it.
So community, let’s hear from you! Email us, Twitter us, text the word Simulcast to 41411 with your question, leave us a comment below, or join in the live video podcast on Thursday at 8:30pm EST!
We will have a great interactive show this week so we look forward to your questions.

When Stebbins says 8:30, is that his time or real time (aka: Eastern Time)?
lol, just busting you. With a nationwide audience, you all need to tag time stamps with the time zone.

Fair enough. I fixed it
I love our audience. They bust on me as much as the rest of the crew

It is Eastern Daylight Time

If you just use ET, CT, MT, PT – you don’t have to deal with Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time – or tell the folks in Indiana who live in 2 time zones which one to use.

I too am new to this iphone/jailbreak process. I am a new iphone users that switched in June.
1. I found steps on iclarified, but was not sure if after freshly restoring to the ipsw, if I should then have itunes setup my iphone with my items, or just proceed with jailbreak process.
2. After jailbreaking, how does one get contacts and other apps back? Is it just a matter of synching with itunes?
3. how do I backup after jailbreak?
