1.1.1 iPhone Multipage SpringBoard Hack
Gallery: Springboard Scrolling
Although the iPhone/iTouch Dev team hasn't published a general jailbreak yet, the developer community is working hard and furious to make sure that your arrival will be pleasant when you get there. Today brings this marvelous SpringBoard patch from Nicholas "Drudge" Penree, NerveGas and Pumpkin. It allows you to add as many 3rd party applications to SpringBoard as you'd like and offers a kicking-new paging feature; notice the paging dots at the bottom of SpringBoard.
The trip1pogostick patch is available from Drudge's beta repository. To access it, you must jailbreak your iPhone and access this link from Mobile Safari.

Since when did this become the "iPhone/iTouch Dev team" weblog? Erica, please, spare us. Bring back TUAW!

Wow, I wonder why Apple would add something like paging to the stock Springboard? Maybe that SDK is closer than we all thought...

Yay! Thanks Erica, don't listen to the naysayers. Because of your extensive coverage on iPhone I come back to TUAW about 10x more than I did before! Cheers!

Yes, thanks a lot for keeping us up to date with the iPhone! And thanks for the great work, Erica!
But what I still don't get: is there a way to activate? I have a TurboSim in my phone and never did the software hack. So all I need is the activation, right? But how?

I agree with Jonathan. I wouldn't mind a post every so often to keep us updated on the iPhone hacking scene, but it's silly that the "iPhone Dev Team" is using TUAW as their main publicity site. They set up a wiki as well as a special forum on Hackintosh and they're not really even using either of those... news of the jailbreak wasn't posted on either site until long after it appeared on TUAW. I realize this blog has the most readership so the team is excited to post here, but really, the team should set up their own site and use it. It's really a different platform. Plus a lot of Windows-using iPhone owners are not checking TUAW, and they would benefit from news of the iPhone hacking scene.

Erica,
Don't listen to the naysayers. TUAW has become my religion since you started updating on hacking development. Please keep it up!!

So what about us who used the iPhone dev team unlock and are stuck at 1.0.2. Whatever happened to the simple reverse-lock solution that was promised but never materialized? Can I get a rebate or something?

#5... Did you read this article at all??? Is it not clearly ABOUT a third party developer who BUILT this functionality??? I think it's pretty clear that apple has nothing to do with this. Read before you post!!

This is exciting stuff! As a iPhone user who uses the Fido network, I am very anxious to be allowed to update to 1.1.1.
I was worried I would be stuck on 1.0 forever!

thanks!!
Before the 'iPhone hack reports', I visited this site about once a week... now about 5 times/day... Based on alexa.com data, it looks like I'm not alone!

How raw is the jailbreak so far? any estimated on when a "non-pro hacker" version would be available??
just wondering, I am still with 1.0.2 since i use many of the 3er party so I'm just waiting until jailbreak reach a more usable stage to upgrade
