TUAW carries news of a preliminary iPhone 1.1.1 Jailbreak from the “iPhone Dev Team.”

Its going to take more hard work before it is easy to install apps as it is for earlier iPhone firmware versions.

  • Some third party apps work, but it looks like changes to the UI frameworks will require recompilation.
  • Apple appears to have hardwired which apps will show up in Springboard, the iPhone app launcher.
  • There are hints of features involving radio and Nike hardware are coming.
  • iPhone 1.1.1 apps like the music store don’t run very well or at all when copied to a 1.0.2. phone.

This is good news!

Update 7/28: The latest news is that someone has created a basic but functioning GUI app for the iPhone. This comes just a few days after people started compiling a range of open source command line apps for the iPhone.

Update 8/21: The iphone has been fully unlocked, but there is still some work to do before it becomes practical

——————————————

It has been over 24 hours since the iPhone Dev hacking team announced that they had obtained full filesystem access to the iPhone. Since then, some intrepid iPhone users have pieced together the tools necessary to “break out of jail,” and place custom ringtones on the phone, but we are still awaiting an official release from the team that will reduce the amount of fiddling needed to get everything to work just right. At this point, the hack renders the iPhone unsyncable to iTunes until a system restore is run.
