The AppSnapp 'jailbreak' application, released web-wide on Sunday, seems to have struck a chord with iPhone and iPod Touch owners. Claiming 'No hacking required,' the AppSnapp team developed a one-click method, which they cheekily claim also fixes Apple's TIFF bug, 'making your device MORE secure than it was without AppSnapp!'

The AppSnapp Jailbreak works as follows, according to its site:

  1. Jailbreaks iPhone/iPod Touch on 1.1.1
  2. Patches Springboard to load third party apps
  3. Activates non-AT&T iPhones automatically, while leaving already activated phones alone
  4. Fixes YouTube on non-AT&T iPhones automatically, while leaving already activated phones alone
  5. Installs Installer.app v3.0b5 on the iPhone/iPod Touch
  6. Fixes Apple's TIFF bug, making your device MORE secure than it was without AppSnapp!
