Is it safe to update apps for 4.2 on phone w/ 4.1 j/b?

[MrThompsonR]

Is it safe or should I disregard these until I upgrade to/ jailbreak 4.2? I remember after updating some apps on my old 3G(j/b 3.12) to 3.13 my phone started crashing alot and after a few reboots wouldn't come back up fully, forcing me to restore/ update to Apples latest iPhone software/ killing my jailbreak...? Could this happen again? I'd rather stay away from iTunes for awhile than go through that again... From what I've read 4.2 doesn't sound like a great leap from 4.1 on an iP4... Opinions? I usually sync daily for podcast for my commute to work. Even w/o phone software, there's reminders for app updates...

4.2 contains a new baseband and there's no unlock available yet

I believe the OP is asking if it's ok to install iTunes apps that are updated to 4.2 compatibility. If that is the question I say you are fine as long as the app doesn't come with a built-in version requirement.

should be fine. one of my apps had an update for 4.2 compatibility, and it worked fine after I installed it.

I believe if it does it will flag it up, and probably won't let you download it until the update is done.

TS, the only way to know is this: If the app states that REQUIRES 4.2 & up then you can't run it w/ fw less than that version; most apps say COMPATIBLE to 4.2 which means that they work w/ lesser fw versions (up to a certain point depending on the app, which they usually also stipulate on the info).
