I don't think Apple cares all too much about if you are able to install third-party apps. They released that statement that they don't care if you install apps but they aren't going to cater towards you, either. They DO care if you can unlock for other carriers, and DO care if there are gaping security holes. The only problem has been that the jailbreaking process has generally relied on huge security holes in previous versions of the iPhone software, so Apple has been obligated to fix it, however much the iPhone developers want to be able to install their apps again. (You know all the iPhone devs jailbreak their phone. 
)
)Following those directions got me a jailed 1.1.2 Touch and after reading through the comments, apparently there's one final step that hasn't been released yet to continue the unlock. So if you've got a 1.1.1 Touch unlocked, I suggest you forego the 1.1.2 upgrade until the complete directions are posted.

But then they released another statement that modification of your iPhone software will make it unusable. The next update done just that.
I've got a iPod Touch with 1.1.1 and im keeping it like that for now. Theres nothing I can do in 1.1.2 that I cant in 1.1.1 with a few 10kb patches installed from the Installer.app
About that, I got the 1.1.2 installed, but can I go back to 1.1.1 easily? should I just hit the "restore" button in iTunes? I kept a copy of the 1.1.1 firmware on my HD, can I just shift + click the update button in iTunes and "update" back to 1.1.1? thx
No new features.. hopefully it's a bit more stable in Safari, but that's about it. They added french, german and italian translations of many apps. They *still* can't spell 'colour'.
You can jailbreak it but I wouldn't bother right now as there's no springboard hack (so you can't see the installed apps) and installer.app needs updating. Give it a couple of days.
