Two native third-party applications created for iPhone, hackers claim

We reported on a "Hello World" iPhone application a couple of weeks ago, and now it seems that at least one other hack has successfully installed a native application on the iPhone.

One application, called "UIKit Hello World" may be the same one already reported on, and was created by developers at the iPhone Dev Wiki project.

The second is called MobileTerminal, created by a Google Code team, and emulates a terminal application on the iPhone. This may be related to earlier iPhone shell access.

Anyone with the technical abilities to install these applications will likely need to do so each time Apple updates the iPhone software, as hacks are wiped out.
