jail break me.

this is interesting for two reasons –

the first if you have an iphone, running 1.1.1, and want to use 3rd party apps, just load this page, and your done — it does everything for you including installing Installer.app. Very cool.

the second reason this is of interest is that the method of getting 3rd party apps on the locked phone is simply loading an image file in the browser. The image exploits a hole in safari and allows the website to install software. I guess this is the first time that I actually appreciate this sort of thing.
