Before and after the latest iPhone update

We’ve already posted that the latest iPhone firmware version (1.1.1) is now live and that you can update your beloved handset at any time you want. On one side you’ll get an access to the WiFi iTunes Music store, improved security and louder volume; while on the other, you’ll lose all your favorite native third party applications, hence limiting the iPhone to Web 2.0 apps and services. Is it worth it? I don’t think so, and so does Gizmodo which prepared some very neat illustrations. From there you’ll see why you shouldn’t go the route of the latest firmware update — or, that’s at least we don’t see this firmware hacked as well…

So true, I’m definitely not updating my iPhone. It’s still locked, so I would have no trouble with the update. But getting the iTunes Music Store is not worth giving up my third-party applications and customizations.
