Im not denying the validity of the strategies a lot here used to get their stuff, in fact i use them myself. What i dont agree with is that claims made as fact, when there arent any evidence or proof to back these claims up. I'll be the first to thank the bearer of such good news if this is true, but at the moment, such news , if provided without evidence, will only heighten the hopes of those waiting, and that, to me is evil. You give false hope to people, and when things doesnt come true, these folks will be devastated. Better tell them what's really going on, the facts and the figures, and let them decide from there. If you give them baseless inf without any proof, they will end up disappointed for wait for so long and still not seeing the price point they have waited for that long a period.

People may hate me for being harsh with my post, but all im doing is telling people what they dont like to hear, the realities of things. I dont deal with hopes, dreams or speculations. I deal with numbers, facts and figures, or at the very least, educated guesses based on current pattern. That way, i dont build my hopes up (and the hopes of others) and get exremely disappointed when things doesnt happen as i hoped/dreamed it to be.

Let me reiterate again, i am with you, not against you. I'll be there with you, lining up at Machines/Switch/Apple Stores here, if that case happens. I'll share the joys of how lucky we are when this happens, because frankly, this means Apple finally recognizes us as a viable market. But how viable is this scenario to happen? And the more you dream and dwell on this dream to happen, the more disappointed you will become when it didnt happen.

I would advise those itching to update and jailbreak to 1.1.2 to hold their horses first. The GUI version of the jailbreak is coming, and even after jailbreaking, some apps wont install , since they are marked to work with 1.1.1 only. This is verified by Erica Sadun at TUAW.

For the iPod Touch folks, this should be okay, but bear in mind of those apps requiring "1.1.1 signature to install" only. For the iPhone, from the way they put it, this is only for the jailbreak, not the unlocking.

I dont see the hurry of updating to 1.1.2, it only adds international keyboards and battery icon inside iTunes. Nothing really worthwhile IMO.

Looks like i was right all along. Told you so! Apple-unlocked iPhones are Euro999 a pop! So much for those who are waiting!

Tell me what's wrong with this pic, and i'll give you a cookie. Next time, either pay attention to the phone, or to the chick, not both!
