This is just getting silly, don't you think? The iPhone Dev Team has once again proven their totally gnarly talents by freeing up the latest firmware before it's even the latest firmware. Apple, here's our suggestion -- just let people do what they want with your devices, since they're clearly going to do it anyway. That way, instead of making enemies, you're making lifelong buddies. Reasonable, right? Steve, give us a call, we're more than happy to riff on some ideas for playing nice with the end-user.

Update: Dev chat room chatter claims that the 2.0 is now fully unlocked as well.

remember though that the firmware 1.2 (or beta 2.0) is intended for beta testing (so then it is called Beta). it is built on purpose of creating the testing ground (for enterprise Activesync features, apps development, etc etc). maybe the official ones will get some major reconstruction, who knows rite?

or maybe Apple is just playing nice with them for now, and then when the official one is released, kaboom!

maybe la. (oh no the iPhone will not explode). better wait until june.

well we all know how "friendly" Apple can be with others lol

apple need the sales figure to keep the investors happy.
by doing this, the parallel importers are very happy too.
the only people not happy are those apple resellers I guess. They have so many requests from customers everyday, but no iphone to sell. poor thing!!
