It works for me. I supposed it has to be /Applications/Apollo.app insted of
Customize.app.
I have to say that this trick also works with mobileChat modifiying
/Applications/Chat.app/DNS.hosts

Thank you Sergio.

This worked for me (iPhone 8GB originally 1.0.2 OTB, upgraded to 1.1.1, 1.1.2 
AnySim,
finally 1.1.4 ZiPhone).  But my question is how do I explain this to my friend 
who
has no idea how to ftp into his phone?  Isn't their a simple Installer 
installtion
that can do this with no sweat?
