Hi,

This whole ringtone situation is really frustrating, I realise that I'm probably in a small minority but I actually produce my own music (And by produce I mean write, engineer, produce etc using CuBase and a rather expensive collection of synths!)

I have, for the last 4-5 years always created my own set of ringtones for my phones, unfortuantely I will be unable to use my own work as a ringtone on my own phone !

I really hope those lovely iToner devs are able to update the app to work with 1.1.2 (If 1.1.2 does break iToner)..

Bri (Not looking forward to the iPhone UK release as much as I was !)

I hope 1.1.2 does not break iToner. I plan on watching to see how 1.1.2 affects others before updating it myself

YOU DO NOT OWN THE SOFTWARE. You own the physical metal/plastic/glass THAT'S IT. How difficult is this to understand?

Generally, for most SANE, LOGICAL people, very difficult....

Im with you on that... I was one of the first to update to 1.1.1... which means I was also one of the first to discover that it broke iToner. I will be waiting to see what other people do and say about it. But I do hope it adds some real functionality... always a plus.

I had some 3rd party apps installed via jailbreakme.com, but upon hearing this news, I promptly restored my phone, as I like to stay safely, legally, and securely up to date.

As long as Apple lets every application run under root, most importantly Safari ...there is little security. Hopefully they will finally make a huge leap forward in security instead of being stupid.

No, I don't mean they need to close it for 3rd party development, but for threats like malicious stuff. Everybody just installs all sorts of garbage while almost nobody looks at the source code. I am sure I can count the people who check if they install malicious software on their iPhone with less then ten fingers. Did anybody check what kind of stuff fires of when you surf to jailbraikme.com? Or one of the other "mirrors"? I'm not saying something is wrong with those guys. But this is definitively dangerous doing it with your eyes closed.

It is a great unix box, rootkits all around. Nobody knows they might have installed them by using 3rd party apps or malicious webcontent. Do you want to see your phone beeing used in wardialing attacks, or as a mail of SMS relay in SPAM attacks? And get your 3000 page AT&T bill half way next month... Or seeing your e-mail or addressbook spread around the world? Think about this! Even worse if you use your iPhone for business e-mail.

So hopefully Apple has hired some security experts to make this a secure platform with a good and secure SDK platform, instead of focussing in blocking all those jailbrake attempts and breaking other stuff. I would rather see the SDK turn up sooner with a secure and fast platform.

I am wondering if it'll be possible to unlock the phone like the 1.1.1 way, downgrading to 0.2, unlocking and again upgrading to 1.1.

Oh God, I was just about to buy one, it seems I'll have to wait more couple of weeks.

Doesn't iTunes updaye your iPhone to 1.1.1 once you have downgraded and done the pre-upgrade steps.
If this s the case then won't iTunes just update your phone to 1.1.2 from friday?

iTunes only modifies the firmware when you instruct it to do a restore.

Just connecting an iPhone to iTunes will not automatically update the firmware.
