The guys at cre.ations.net posted an interesting article about the recent 1.1.3 Firmware for iPhone's.

So I've had the chance to examine the 1.1.3 firmware on a deeper level (using a technique not developed by me and which I can't release so don't ask) and have noticed some interesting changes behind the scenes that are quite blogworthy:

- SpringBoard no longer needs to be modified (via SummerBoard) in order to show extra applications in the /Applications folder.
- All applications now run as the user 'mobile' instead of as root.
- Preferences are now stored in /var/mobile rather than in /var/root.

What does this all mean? I'll tell you what it means.

The iPhone 1.1.3 firmware is ready for official installable applications.
