I haven't heard of the app problem, and indeed have installed new apps
and upgraded existing apps w/in the month, using iTunes, which seems
to see the unlocked (Pwned) iPhone just as any other iPhone.
We have to be clear about two levels of "unlocked": unlocked means it
can go on all networks, jailbroken means it can run unsigned programs/
applications. So basically jailbroken phones can be accessed via
terminal emulators etc like any other OS. This is done before
unlocking, which makes the phone usable on any radio-compatible
network, in this case GSM networks.
My experience is limited to jailbroken/unlocked phones via Pwnage
Tool, YMMV.
