In an write-up by MacNN which you can catch here… Thanks to the hacking of some committed iPhone lovers, a beta version of the Installer.app has been created. It’s sole purpose in life is to prepare it easier for you, YES YOU, to install 3rd-party apps with greater ease! Here’s a taste:

“A new beta of the Installer.app utility is now said to completely automate the process of derestricting (or jailbreaking) the iPhone’s file system and uploading a software package manager to the Apple device. Once installed, the Mac OS X app allows the iPhone to download and install Books or any of the other unofficial third-party programs already written for the device simply by using either local Wi-Fi or an EDGE connection.”

What kind of apps have you or will you be installing? Do you think that will construct the iPhone more prone to malicious attacks? What killer app hasn’t yet presented on the iPhone that will seal the deal for you?
