iPhone Atlas warns that the current 1.1.3 jailbreak may prevent official third party apps from working.

iPhone firmware 1.1.3 includes a mechanism for approving signed applications. Signed apps use private keys to authorize themselves for installation on the iPhone/iPod Touch. This gets damaged by the jailbreak, although it's reversable. It does mean that official and unofficial third party apps won't be able to co-exist.
