Looks like the iPhone hackers have gained access to the entire file system.

I, too, hope that one day I will reach 900 posts...I love the title of this thread (and assumingly the article)
It makes it sound like Fort Knox. lol
900 posts! WoOt!

I'd rather have Apple give me a feature than use a third party app. I'm assuming hacking the phone, will void the warranty. It did on my old razor phone. I really didn't care about messing up my 200 dollar razor phone. But my 600 dollar iPhone is a different story.I, too, hope that one day I will reach 900 posts...
This opens a lot of possibilities for customizing the iPhone. We will soon start to see 3rd party apps that will allows this. I just have a feeling that Apple is waiting for these guys to get so far, then swoop in with a software update that allows the same features. Either way, it's a win-win for us!
I don't think the people who are interested hacking these things are going to be deterred by voided warranties. They're trying to stay ahead of the software development curve, and $600 is a small price to pay to get started. For regular users like us, it would be enough to keep us from doing too much tweaking, but then again, we're not trying to write software or get hired by a company who wants us to develop 3rd party applications for the phone.I'd rather have Apple give me a feature than use a third party app. I'm assuming hacking the phone, will void the warranty.

Yeah, I wanna keep the Apple "secure and easy" feel, on my phone. I'll wait for official stuff.Risking $600 on bricking my phone scares me. I'm in agreement on waiting for Apple's apps or until they open up 3rd party apps.
Well,.. After checking what they did. I think they're a little over confident. They basically removed the sim card and moved a Icon. The moving is Icons is probably already in the code. All they did was turn on a option. It was basically like me when I started modding my Razor Phone. There was all this hidden code on the phone. All people were doing was turning on what was already there. I work for software company and lots of stuff goes into products which are just never activated for one reason or another.Along the same lines as what I said before... do you think these guys are bricking/killing phones unintentionally and if so how many do you think?
That thought makes me sad.![]()
