also the ability to install games "offline"..on a plane the iphone is useless
other have reported getting pdf files to work but I can't
also it would be great to have a new reader that saved content to read later like avantgo
also the ability to add task to the calendar
iPhone jailbreaked rocks...
the exploit involves one of a few attack vectors...
1) Webclips and maliciously forged PNG
2) Overflow / Arbitary Code Execution through a Quicktime flaw still known to be open in 1.1.3 (even though they thought they patched it!
Other doors potentially exist but that clears up that garbage, again IT IS NOT A HARDWARE MODIFICATION! IT TOOK 7 PEOPLE TO DO IT!
END OF STORY. NEOWIN GET IT RIGHT AND STOP POSTING FUD INFO.

I do believe the article states that one of the methods is hardware based, but the other is not.
just jailbroken NOT Unlocked
I thought "jailbroken" was the same as "unbricked" which is very different from "unlocked".... but i could be wrong.
