iPhone Software v3.0

I have one of the original iPhones, imported for me by a customer (thanks Urs!) and it’s been interesting to see the development of the hacking tools that go with the software updates. I tend to update infrequently because of the difficulty- it’s like hitting yourself with a hammer- it feels so good when you stop. So I upgraded to
