All-

I'm really keen on adding a guide on how to install 3rd party applications on iPhone Firmware 1.1.1. Before now, it was simple (AppTapp was all you needed). But now, with the extra jailbreak step, I don't think anyone has done a very good job of documenting the process and especially making it accessible.

I'd like to create a readable guide. Once we have the guide done, we'll post it on the iPhone blog.

Really, really high level (haven't done the research yet... hoping people who have done it already might be able to help):

-Jailbreak (supply step by step instructions)
-Install AppTapp 3.0 beta
 
that rely isn't a useful guide at all. there are a lot more steps before and after. Not all of the info is even correct.
 
Download the app tapp program.
http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/
right click on the folder(don't run the program) and click "view contents of folder"
Move the installer app. from the folder to your desktop. It is the one with the application sign with a cross thought it.
Then just ssh it in using iNdepence.
when you get into the program (on your iphone) there will be an update in the installer app. for the new version for 1.1.1
 
For 1.1.1 all you need to do is visit JailBreakMe.com on your browser. It'll do the work for you via the Safari Exploit. This will not work on 1.1.2+.
