Installer.app handles installing, updating and uninstalling 3rd party applications. The Installer.app is in beta, but reports are positive. The Installer.app is only installed on the iPhone via a Mac with easy to follow instructions provided by Gizmodo. The Installer.app makes it so easy to do what previous attempt made so difficult. It works by downloading packages over WiFi (wireless networking) or EDGE.

It is recommended you only try Installer.app after updating your iPhone to 1.0.2. This will save a number of headaches.

Update: There is a launcher available among the initial applications, which is recommended first, as after the first two applications you install, all others will be below and out of sight of the iPhone window.

There is only this about the update: This version of the software includes bug fixes and supersedes all previous versions.

This update can only be installed through iTunes. As noted by iPhoneAtlas, this update will reverse most previous hacks, but the recently announced Installer.app will require a total restoring of the iPhone as the application prevents the update from installing successfully.

Camino 151 is now using version 1.8.1.6 of the Mozilla Gecko rendering engine. Bugs fixed include crashing when right-clicking in certain web page menus; alerts and prompts display properly whether Camino is hidden or visible; no longer auto-fill passwords in disabled fields; and improved ad-blocking.
