Well now, Apple followed through on its promise to kill iPhones that have been unlocked using one of the hacks on the Internet. The unfortunate part of the big update they released was that it also killed third-party applications.Honestly, I have no problem with Apple killing unlocked phones. They have an agreement with AT&T that they can have the phone exclusively for a few years and they need to do what they can to live up to that agreement.
Secondly, Apple is getting a kickback from AT&T on the service plans -- at least that's that popular belief. So, given that fact, Apple is losing money on every phone that doesn't use AT&T.
However, kicking out the third-party applications is just stupid. An update is supposed to make you device more useful, not less useful. Sadly, that's what happened with iPhone Update 1.1.1.
I can't even install custom ringtones anymore. I think they went too far on that part.

And, if you hadn't "hacked" your phone to install new apps, it would have done exactly that.
Leave it to you!
