iPhone Version 1.1.1 Update Unlocked

Unlocking the iPhone is going to be a tug of war between Apple and, ironically, really smart iPhone fanatics. The latest blow delivered in this battle of wits is that the lock on the iPhone version 1.1.1 update has been broken. Here's a short list of what was done (and undone, for that matter):

• Third Party apps run. Kind of. We probably have to recompile many of them for the new frameworks because many of them crash.
• Springboard no longer recognizes DisplayOrder.plist. And the list of "whitelisted" apps (that is, the official Applications including Safari, Photos, Calendar, etc) seems to be hard-coded into Springboard.app
• The iPhone has been activated via third-party workarounds.
• The 1.1.1 binaries barely work with 1.0.2 -- at least not well enough to run the music store without major hacking.

The jailbreak process isn't ready for mass distribution yet, so we'll have to wait for the word on that one. For a full details of the story, you can click on the source below.
