Swirly has a problem, as it released the version 1 without apple, but needs the apple store for the new phones to really pass it to the majority of users. As apple is developing an MMS application with another company, they probably just wait to give Swirly the permission until their product is ready too. So the only chance to see a new fw 2.0 version of Swirly would be on Cydia or installer, but this would definitely upset Apple.
First, the maintenance releases of 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 came out because not everyone is going to bother with 2.0, and there is still an existing userbase that needs to be supported...
The release for fw 2.0 is only a coding issue and the team is working on it, it will see it's release in Cydia/Installer ... Apple won't be anymore upset than they were about the earlier releases.. I doubt apple would be working with on MMS with another company, why would they need to? they have their own developers .. if they wanted MMS capabilities then they would have included them.. my guess is that AT&T had a big part in that decision, not Apple ..I see no reason Apple would not want to include it unless they just figured E-Mail made more sense ..
Besides... writing these third party apps is perfectly legal, jailbreaking your phone is perfectly legal, unlocking it is perfectly legal .. the only people Apple is probably upset with is the dev team for popping the security to make it possible

they probably had no reason to mind before, but now they have a reason to mind because third party apps don't come from their store..
