-the-bad-and-the-ugly/"

"Today at approximately 10:30 AM Cupertino time Apple released version 1.1.1
of the iPhone's software. Some people, like yours truly, could not wait and
jumped right in. In my case that was a mistake. Changes in 1.1.1 are
covered here.

There were several preliminary reports that pointed to success for "modded"
iPhones. Please note by modded I am referring to iPhones that have had
third-party applications installed, or in iPhone terminology "jailbreaked"
(modified to get around Apple's walled-in garden). This is not quite as
invasive as "unlocked" iPhones. By unlocked I mean iPhones that are not only
jailbreaked, but have also been modified to allow carriers other than AT&T.

In reality the 1.1.1 update will kill any third-party applications or
modifications, and more importantly (at this time) will prevent them from
being installed afterwards. DO NOT UPDATE if you value your third-party
applications or modifications..."

But tell us the REALLY important stuff- can you buy music over WiFi
at Starbucks yet? ;-)

Thanks for the update. Buy your iPhones now, kids, befor 1.1.1 comes
preinstalled.

I have little doubt that there will be a backlash. Unfortunately with sheep
like Oxford around to defend Apple it won't get heard over the "We still
love you, Steve!" chants.
