The battle resumes…
Gizmodo reports that the new UK iPhones ship with Firmware 1.1.2, which packs some new features, most notable among them is it renders current Jailbreak software useless, thus confirming everyone’s fear that any subsequent updating will truly be a long, drawn-out running battle until Apple just plain leaves the damn thing unlocked and open in the first place. No third-party apps for now, guys.
So far, none of the new features of 1.1.2 are enormously useful for anyone outside Europe, so that might make Jailbreakers feel a little better. Among the additions of the new firmware is support for 12 new languages, special keyboard layouts for the French and German versions and bundled access for The Cloud wifi hotspots. For this round at least, the battle is largely on the European front.
