1.1.3 is real and it’s fabulous

by John Biggs on December 29, 2007

Whoa. 1.1.3 icon moving in the flesh. Pretty cool stuff. It looks like this is the real deal and folks like Nate and the inventors of iBrickr got this in order to help the unlock process prior to the launch. Could this be a renegade Apple employee, tired of having to explain to his friends why their Solitaire app stops working every upgrade? Nah. What I suspect is happening is that someone got their hands on some development firmware prior to MacWorld’s SDK announcement and this basically shows us what to expect in a few weeks. They keep talking about signed code over on Gizmodo so that meets a Mac developer doesn’t want to lose his license. Oh, and it breaks all third-party apps and activations.

Or maybe… just maybe John… this technology is a preview of what is to come with the new micro-laptop in January by Apple.

Fabulous because you can move icons around and get faux GPS? Setting the bar pretty low there! I’d take cut and paste instead.

Congrats to Apple for completely copying the Wii menu system.

    Only the iPhone does it so flawlessly, with the left and right moving through the menu thing and the drag the icons thing.
