3rd Party Apps Disabled in iPhone 1.1.1

When will this end, this "Cat and Mouse" game is getting old...

I'd have to say I'm confused as to why developers started working on native apps (and unlocking apps) when it was clear apple wasn't going to support native apps or unlocking. I'd like to see these capabilities as much as anyone, but if they don't work with the way apple wants to do it, then whats the point?? I admire the balls to go ahead and hack your expensive phone out of curiosity, but at least don't charge people for software that may not work in 2 weeks time !!!

They're often free apps that provide functionality that cannot be done (as well) with a web app...

agreed.

and not all developers have jumped on. naturally, the ones that have are the only ones most know of. a few developers have openly shared their opinions not to develop until Apple supported 3 party apps.

Street Cred. I'd be pretty happy if I could say I got a 350z and a boatload of money because I unlocked the iPhone...

You're confusing unlocking with hacking (jailbreaking). No one has charged for any 3rd-party iPhone apps to my knowledge, only for unlocking the iPhone (and there's a free alternative for that anyway.)

Didn't have an unlocked phone but only AppTapp Installer and now since 1.1.1 my autocorrect doesn't work anymore :(

No, I'm not confusing unlocking and hacking. All I said was they're both unsupported, so expect any apps to not work in the future.

Yeah and thats great, but I'm just saying it's basically just an exercise if it's potentially going to be wiped automatically.

Just because Apple doesn't support them doesn't mean Apple is making the right decision.

I stand behind the third party developers. No update for me yet.

I for one am very pleased that Apple has found a way to stop hackers from being able to install applications on my iPhone.

While it may be true that there are a lot of good folks out there that will develop and provide good quality software for the iPhone if it is left unlocked, it is also true that if they can do it so can the bad guys that want to hack your iPhone for all the wrong reasons.

I feel the same way out sim unlocking...when you bought the phone you knew what the story was...now you want to change the rules....I hope that unlocking will no longer work either.

I hope Apple has found a way to really lock the phones down tight this time!
