Jailbreak iOS app store Cydia has acquired fellow jailbreaking app store Rock, and should now begin the technique of folding all Rock app store users and apps into the Cydia system.
According to ModMyi , the acquisition comes after several month of negotiations between Jay Freeman of Cydia and Rock owner Mario Ciabarra. The deal was officially signed sometime last night.
Eventually, all Rock users will likely be asked to create a Cydia login if they need to continue buying apps. All existing Rock apps can be merged with Cydia ” as soon as possible.”
Ciabarra will stay on board with Cydia in a developer role, that’s reportedly the role he prefers. [ ModMyi via TUAW ]
