When options and functionality that is supposed to be locked down suddenly becomes very easy to do on a Jailbroken phone, I often wonder if this is the way Apple wanted it to happen in the first place. I sometimes think that AT&T comes to Apple just before launch with a list of stuff they suddenly don’t like and demands it gets stripped out. The engineers probably just turn it off allowing for a little guessing work from the outside developers and hackers.
Without wanting to take anything away form the iPhone Dev team, the browser based Jailbreakme.com seems like a nice way for Apple to allow certain users to switch networks and regain the functionality they intended to deliver in the first place.
