iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.

Apple’s iPhone Firmware 1.1.1 was the big iPhone fiasco last year- it caused tons of reports of “bricked” or unusable iPhones. Anyone who had hacked their iPhone to use another network was at a high risk of having their iPhone rendered unusable. At the time Apple said that the bricking was not intentional, but was a side effect of the update on top of unsupported hacks. They also rightly said that they had no responsibility to fix it, but it seems that they may have gone out of their way to do just that.
iPhone Firmware 1.1.3 gives hope to all with bricked iPhones sitting on their mantles. Gizmodo was able to regain their jailbroken iPhone’s purity with only a few snags. The iPhone was previously hacked with AnySIM and they were able to restore it to AT&T and use the phone and data transfers.
The biggest snag Gizmodo ran into was that they had to restart the iPhone and re-register in order to get the registration to work.
Firmware 1.1.3 is free and available when starting up iTunes.
