- All applications now run as the user 'mobile' instead of as root.
- Preferences are now stored in /var/mobile rather than in /var/root.

Deep inside of iPhone firmware 1.1.3

iPhone hacker extraordinary, Nate True was taking a look around inside of the latest iPhone firmware 1.1.3 and found some interesting things:
from Nate True's Blog:
"The iPhone 1.1.3 firmware is ready for official installable applications.We are all looking forward to some awesome things in the very near future for the iPhone. Dreams do come true!
Even though there are no applications available for purchase (besides the iPod Touch's $20 "upgrade package"), the installation architecture appears to be there already.
It also appears that the frameworks have undergone many changes, ostensibly to make it easier for official SDK developers to make programs. It does, however, break many of the existing applications including most of mine (Lights Off still works though :D).
Additionally, the SpringBoard app appears to have widget support - it contains a class called SBWidgetApplication which manages the package location and icon. "
