I’m writing this post because I was not able to find anything remotely close to solving this problem elsewhere.
The goal (for me, but there are other uses): custom theme stacks icons so that dock reflections work properly. There are more reasons to do this though, such as making icons display correctly in categories. You could also use this to fix jailbroken apps which don’t have nice iPhone style icons.

The iPhone Dev Team just released a new version of their PwnageTool, which is capable of Jailbreaking the iPhone 2G/3G and iPod Touch 1G. For the rest of us 3GS/iTouch 2G/New iTouch owners (I have both!) we can do nothing but wait for a new version of redsnow. I’m hosting a mirror of the new version of PwnageTool (link later), but please… as the Dev Team reiterates multiple times in their post, read and reread their post and follow it to the letter!

I would like to set the facts straight on this issue once and for all, even if the only way I can do that is by publishing my own blog post (which no one will read). You can read my response later on in the post.
Yeah, you. In a recent U.S. copyright filing, Apple apparently claims that the jailbreaking of iPhone operating systems leads to problems in the AT&T network, probably helping to explain the general unreliability network users have experienced. If “general unreliability” sounds a little harmless, keep in mind that Apple is also making the case that jailbreaking could make it possible for users to crash cell phone towers.
Of course, you can see why AT&T wouldn’t like this. But there may be more to the story. Apple’s comments apparently also noted that the altering of the baseband processor BBP of the Apple is what would allow people to crash the towers. Maybe not so coincidentally, “unlocking” the iPhone in this manner would also allow consumers to use networks other than AT&T.
Maybe “unlocking,” and not jailbreaking, is simply bad for business.
