Looks like the iphone can be bricked if it is unlock or third party software is on it when the firmware is updated! Seems like Apple is playing hardball when it comes to any software mods not "blessed" by them. New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/29/te...ss&oref=slogin

Yeah. Apple, you can't live with it...
...
That's it, basically.

Is "Think different" still the Apple marketing slogan?

But let's face it, since Jobs weaseled his way back in, Apple has started behaving like Microsoft on Evil Steroids.
With friggin' lasers.

Apple is about to be "class actioned" to death. I truly hope so and I like their products but this will be a good thing. I read that someone is trying to organize a week long iTunes boycott. This would be a nice wake up call, not to mention the fact that Amazon has a DRM free service with the same prices (most songs) as Apple is charging on iTunes.

Eh, I can't imagine any positive comeback from the Apple side for this...
But man, I love Apple. Not for their product, but for the great return they've given me by holding on to their shares.

I thought I posted the following in the original Apple thread awhile ago...

Sorry for the resurerection. I figured, why start yet another iPhone thread...

(Statement of interest with regard to the recent firmware upgrade that b0rked third party apps and bricked unlocks...)
Screw the unlock for a second. Let's talk about the those third-party apps. Programs like the faux-GPS, IM clients, Flickr Upload, and NES emulator—what did they ever do but make the iPhone far better than the stock original? They made it far more competitive with open-platform superphones like the Nokia N95, to which I will now be switching.
