Installer hits the desktop, allows jailbroken apps without 'jailbreaking'

Dan Moren at Macworld reports on an interesting development in the Jailbreaking wars. Installer.app now has a desktop application that lets you install those nasty jailbroken apps directly from the desktop…without ‘jailbreaking’ your precious iPhone.  The application looks like iTunes and works almost as easily.  If we weren’t rocking the 3.0 firmware, we’d be testing this right now.  Anyone out there want to be the guinea pigs?

Update: a few brave souls in the comments have tried.  If you are using a Unibody MacBook, you’ll need a USB hub.  Overall, it looks like it isn’t really  working that well yet.  Reccomendation: wait and see.
