Apple has squeezed out the latest software update for the iPhone and the iPod Touch, v2.2.1. As always with Apple updates, the release notes are maddeningly sparse:

This update contains bug fixes and improvements, including the following:
- Improved general stability of Safari
- Fixed issue where some images saved from Mail do not display correctly in the Camera Roll
- Fixed issue that caused some Apple Lossless (ALAC) audio files to skip during playback.

What Apple fails to mention is that the update break Yellosn0w, the hack which unlocks the iPhone from the official carrier and lets you slip in any SIM card. If you're a dirty, jailbreakin', unlockin' hacker, you're used to holding off updates anyway, and this time should be no different.
