Please be aware that some of the listed applications change the IMEI
of your phone, intentionally or unintentionally. The IMEI is needed to
identify your phone and manipulating the IMEI. See: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imei#IMEI_and_the_law

If Apple would publish a developer kit and documentation, mistakes

not make their way onto any Apple handheld device.
