Apple decided to ship their 1.1.1 firmware update for the iPhone. Now, this broke all unlocked (as in Non-AT&T) iPhones. Additionally, you can no longer have 3rd Party Applications and the iPhone Dev Team is working hard on breaking this, and I don’t have my custom ringtones. Based on principle, I refuse to purchase ringtones, there’s just no reason to force people to purchase them. I’m eagerly waiting the ability to get my ringtones back.

On another note, I think I’ve decided to get the Apple 10.5 Leopard Family Pack once it’s available with my $100 Rebate and my Gift card that I got for our 6th Month Anniversary, from the beautiful Jenny. Either that, or I’ll end up getting a 160GB iPod Classic. I’m pretty sure it’ll be Leopard.

On a completely separate note, I’ll be moving in with my Grandma after my Grandpa died last weekend. I’ll be paying rent, so we’ll see how that goes. I’ll probably be moving some stuff over, starting next weekend, but we’ll see….
