Well if the rumors are true from a few weeks back, tomorrow would be the day.

Passcode Lock

CVE-ID: CVE-2008-4228

Available for: iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.1, iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.1

Impact: Emergency calls are not restricted to emergency numbers

Description: iPhone provides the ability to make an emergency call when locked. Currently, an emergency call may be placed to any number.

Passcode Lock

Impact: Restoring a device from backup may not re-enable the Passcode Lock

Description: The Passcode Lock feature is designed to prevent applications from being launched unless the correct passcode is entered. A race condition in the handling of device settings may cause the Passcode Lock to be removed when the device is restored from backup. This may allow a person with physical access to the device to launch applications without the passcode. This update addresses the issue by improving the system's ability to recognize missing preferences. This issue does not affect systems prior to iPhone OS 2.0 or iPhone OS for iPod touch 2.0.

Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may initiate a phone call without user interaction

This may allow a maliciously crafted website to initiate a phone call without user interaction. Additionally, under certain circumstances it may be possible for a maliciously crafted website to block the user's ability to cancel dialing for a short period of time. This update addresses the issue by properly dismissing Safari's call approval dialog when an application is being launched via Safari.

2.2 is up!!!!!!!!

hoorah! If you find any extra goodies post em!

 

[Reaktor5]

I love if you're on a different homepage and hit the home button it brings you back to the first page of apps.

 

[jamesus]

Any word from the Dev Team?

 

[gludington]

Did you apply the update to your jailbroken phone, or do you have a non-jailbroken one handy as well?

 

[Jeremy]

Any word from the Dev Team?

Yes, don't update if you want to jailbreak or unlock. Post will be appearing soon with more info on the front page.

What timing!

So it looks like eventually they will have a full jailbreak for the 2.2, just not in the "near future".

I did the update to 2.2

I did jail break my phone for like a week, but thre wasn't anything that I considered a "must have" to keep it that way, so I went stock...

I just hope the next update comes with push notifications...

Some of the lesser features added to 2.2 screen shots.

-Streaming or downloading TiPb podcast - Priceless

-Having the app store organized much better - Nice touch

-More pics added to each individual app - could go along with the above comment but oh well. Still a nice feature.

Quick question - if I want to update and I jailbroke 2.1, can I just run the new installer and that will be ok? Or do I need to restore to a clean device and then install and re-add all my apps and settings and such?

You can update with no issues but you will not be able to jailbreak 2.2 with the current pwnage tool. You will have to wait until the new release.

 

[sethclifford]

Nice. Ok. I'm gonna test drive 2.2, I don't think I'll miss the jb too much. Not running much. Thanks Ash!

 

[Jeremy]

Something else people should be aware of that I posted in Jailbreak Central but I'll comment on it here... all of you with hardware SIM unlocks are dead in the water with the 2.2 firmware. Apple has solved that and if you update your sim unlock will not work. Just a bit of a warning before you update.

So I take it you decided to update and wait to re-jailbreak?
