Bricked is when the device is as useful as… a brick, and the only thing you can do is send it back to Apple.

You could put an older OS revision on there, so that’s nothing like bricking.

What next? “Help! My PC is a brick because of Mandriva 2008! But no worries, I’ve gone back to Mandriva 2007″

See why it makes no sense? :-)

So I leave it at 1.1.1 and hope that a better way will appear when the SDK firmware version comes out.
