It looks official. From the first intrusion into the 1.1.1 Firmware, we knew this was coming.
Less than a week later, here it is. There are, of course caveats: The hack provides jailbreak, activation, and third party applications but only applies to the iPhone (no iPod Touchy for you!) and is not meant for iPhones with modified basebands. So for those of us with hacked 1.0.2 we have to wait - probably a few more days.
Of course, iPhoneSIMFree is now working as well. It looks like all is happy in iPhone hacking land...for the moment.
In other news, Apple readies version 1.1.3. How many people do you think will update straight away this time after the iBrickieness of the last "update". Apple will need to add some pretty hefty features to make this a worthwhile update. We are thinking iChat, etc. And make it as good as Apollo.

The killer feature for 1.1.3
The killer feature for 1.1.3 ?
No more TIFF buffer overflow where any script kiddy can brick my phone in less time it takes to spell "jailbreaking".

I bet the killer feature for 1.1.3 will be the ability to work with Leopard. Don't upgrade - no Leopard for you !
actually this would be good.
actually this would be good. Apple would have to unbrick all phones! Because they could have been opened by a flaw in their software.

How exactly is this an "easy GUI hack"? It's a fairly lengthy list of instructions and several steps involving different apps and file manipulation, peppered with caveats and warnings. An "easy GUI hack" is something like AppTapp...run an app, click a few dialog buttons, done.

I think Apple maybe doing you a favor. Leopard my turn-out more dangerous than a hacked iPhone.
