The Unofficial Apple Weblog, source of much of the details behind The Great iPhone Hack 2007, brings news of the release of the AppSnapp installer, which bypasses Apple’s OS X 1.1.1 update in order to let iPhone and iPod Touch users put third-party applications on their devices. This appears to be one of the simplest jailbreak applications yet released for the 1.1.1 update; the others involved lots of complicated steps or additional scripts to open up the iPhone.

Until the expected release of the SDK, it’s very likely that Apple will have at least one more software update for the iPhone that could wipe out these jailbreaking efforts, and may once again brick the phones. If you go ahead and install AppSnapp, understand that you probably won’t be able to get service for your iPhone if you walk into the store with AppSnapp installed and a problem for the Geniuses. You might be able to do a factory restore to get AppSnapp off the phone and just install it after you’re done with the service.
