Not only can you not save arbitrary files (mp3s included),

Of course it can.

Yeah, and if I could buy snow leopard for my PC, I might actually consider it.

If you look around you might find a few ways to do that...

I've also tried this method but same result. Pretty much whether I toggle via Airplane On/off or remove/insert sim card I arrive at a message "Invalid Sim Card".

not easily

If you look at http://www.hackint0sh.org/ (forums for the anysim iPhone unlock method), you'll see that some iBricks don't get fixed using this trick. So while this method may work for some, it isn't the cure all for all iPhone hacking mistakes.

The iPhone has two processors each has it's own firmware. The iPhone software is at 1.1.2 - it controls the functions of the screens, programs, the touchscreen, etc. The iPhone baseband is either 3.9, or 4.6 - it controls the radio, WiFi, bluetooth, etc. The two processors talk back and forth using highspeed Hayes modem AT commands. :)

Downgrading the main 1.1.2 firmware only changes the software - so you can reenable the .TIFF exploit should you want to. But to do anything to radio reception, you would need to change the baseband firmware. Currently no one knows how to downgrade the baseband software.

There's details in this thread:

In a nutshell, anyone downgrading their software to 1.1.2 or 1.1.1 or lower and who says they experiencing better cell phone reception is working under the placebo effect, because the firmware they are downgrading doesn't affect the radio at all. And no one knows how to downgrade the baseband firmware - or if they do, the technique isn't being publicized.

As far as reception, on T-Mobile in the US, my reception has generally been good. There's a bit of a funky "bug" that I've seen that if the reception is low or "no service" and you move into an area with service, it takes the phone a while to recognize this. So if you are in an underground tunnel and have no reception, then when you leave the tunnel it can take minutes for the iPhone to notice it has service again. This may be a "feature" since they are trying to save power or something, but it can be annoying to wait 3 minutes or more for the iPhone to decide it has service. There's also a rare odd effect that the phone will think it has all 5 bars, but will, in fact, have no service at all. Any time I have either of these issues, they correct themselves with time - or I can just power down the phone.

You mean before a community/a figures out what the hardware design is, maps out the circuit board and chipsets, identifies the registers, etc... and then provides guidance on how-to-do the hack, then before a 14yrs cracks the iPod Touch since he's young enough NOT to get sued by Apple.

Tutorial: "Unlock" your iPhone with SuperSim If you don't mind not following the verbal instructions here's a guy using his iphone on an european network http://videos.sapo.pt/5VM3Fe1oZ8sKe1CP

Actually, you got it right on the 2nd try.
You can enable full network access via SSH, or boot another OS, just by booting from a USB drive these days, without opening the AppleTV.

Ok, April 1st was retarded enough since the April Fools jokes weren't even funny. Now you have to tag REAL stories as "april fools" and "omgponies (what the hell?)".

semthex: Seems like someone on Slashdot got drunk and marked the news of AppleTV as April fools. No it is not. Please read up on the forum, download the kernel, read the guide and test yourself. AppleTVHacks.net is currently down, possibly because of the monster traffic currently. I already contacted the owner about it but so far not got an answer. Once it is back [sic] again I will let you know.

Who was the idiot editing the headline? It is NOT an april fool...
