I think pretty much anything that has a modern OS is going to have a bootloader. But to answer your question, from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootloader" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>: <blockquote cite="Wikipedia">"When a computer is first powered on, it doesn't have an operating system in memory. The computer's hardware alone cannot perform complex actions such as loading a program from disk, so an apparent paradox exists: to load the operating system into memory, one appears to need to have an operating system already loaded. The solution is to use a special small program, called a bootstrap loader, bootstrap or boot loader. This program's only job is to load other software for the operating system to start."</blockquote> @C
I’ve never come across the bootloader in my iPhone jailbreaking/unlocking/activating travels. I think pretty much anything that has a modern OS is going to have a bootloader. But to answer your question, from Wikipedia:

Couldn't agree with you more. It's a wonderful device and it's a shame that we have to hack it in order to be able to use it here in Canada. Thanks for the article. Do you also know what the bootloader is? ” I really look forward to the day when updating my iPhone’s firmware is as simple as Apple intended, but in the meantime, I’m thankful to all those hard working individuals who have made it possible for me to own and use this wonderful device in Canada now.”
