Cydia Creator Jay Freeman (saurik) acquires Rock Your Phone
Saurik (maker of Cydia) has announced that he has acquired Rock Your iPhone, a rival app for installing jailbroken apps.
The situation is explained by Saurik in a post on Cydia:
The key thing to realize is that Intelliborn, the company that brought you such products as IntelliScreen and MyWi, are the same developers who created Rock Your iPhone.
Unfortunately, due to some early miscommunication, rather than us being in a position where we were cooperating on platforms like Cydia, we ended up spending most of our time competing with each other over the course of the last two years.…
