Folks at iPhone Atlas have posted a method, which they claim is somewhat easier to JailBreak iPhone firmware v1.1.2 which will work on Windows and Mac thanks to the work carried out by the iPhone Elite dev team.

The process apparently plus does not require any third-party utilities other than what is included in the package from Conceited Software.

Links and more details to JailBreak iPhone firmware v1.1.2 available after the jump.

Before you go through the process, do note that though folks at iPhone Atlas claim that the method is simpler, however they do highlight that the process is still somewhat complicated. It is plus quite lenghty as it is a 23-steps process.

So whether you have iPhone running on firmware v1.1.1 next I would recommend that you stick with it for now.

This method is essentially for all those who have bought a new iPhone with firmware v1.1.2 or accidentally upgraded their virgin iPhone to the latest version of iPhone firmware and would like to install native third-party iPhone applications.

I have not tried that out to confirm whether it works or not, so whether you are planning to check that out remember you will be doing so at your own risk. You need to additionally ensure that you have access to Wi-Fi connection on your iPhone to try it out:

Please find below the 23-steps to JailBreak iPhone v1.1.2 courtesy iPhone Atlas:
