Services.app showed up a couple of days back. It’s very nice.

I’m going to be in Europe for a few days in November, and wondered how I’d go about leaving my phone on, making use of WiFi where I could, but not have my Edge data connection active. The 1.1.1 firmware lets you prevent Edge roaming, but I’m not going there. So, along comes Services.app — this is something that should be in from the beginning.

It lets you individually control each of the following services:

  • Edge
  • Bluetooth
  • WiFi
  • sshd

This is *exactly* what I need. Now I can keep my Edge turned off while overseas, but still be able to make and take calls, and avail myself of any WiFi hotspots I encounter. Marvelous!

Details on the link, but the basics are that you need Intstaller.app and the BSD Subsystem to make it work. But if you need this application, you’ve already got that!
