14 DAY TRIAL // So this is how the situation will present itself from now on. Apple will lock the iPhone, trigger some customer dissatisfaction, while the hackers will make all this company's work vanish in only a few days after it brought out its breakthrough ideas.
The iPhone has become a chess board for hackers and Apple to play a tight match, each making a move that they think will put the competitor to the ground. After all, it's a mind game, to find a new solution and make witty moves, while also dodging the attacks of the opponent. The iPhone Dev Team has finally managed to make the handset support more than 15 applications that will be displayed on several different pages from now on. That's exactly what the little dots at the bottom of the page show, counting their number.
After only a few days since Apple released the iPhone v1.1.1 upgrade, hackers have already managed to break it and bring back the third party apps that everyone missed so much. There is no solution for the unlocked handsets that have become useless after making the upgrade, but at least those who decided not to make this move will not have to suffer from Apple's faulty solution.
In fact, this new solution that the iPhone Dev Team has managed to develop should make the handset's producer pretty happy as well. Apple's greatest problem was that customers moved from one carrier to another, also taking away the big chunk of revenues that this company was supposed to receive in Europe from their use of the iPhone. The third party apps were less important, as it brought them little or no harm.
It should be pretty interesting to see what Apple decides to do on the next firmware upgrade. If it decides to attack the third party application use, it should bring some pretty appealing extra features that the handset's users will not be able to resist and decide to make the jump and give up their current apps. It's going to be a tough job for this producer, as these extra programs manage to complete all the holes that they could not in order to bring great functionality to the iPhone.
