While it have successfully jailbroken the 3G iPhone, the iPhone Dev team has yet able to unlock the newly launched phone. This puts more delay on the new Pwnage tools that many people has been waiting for.
The first generation of iPhone was jailbroken and unlocked by the devs team, however having 3G baseband, the unlocking algorithm for iPhone 3G is not quite the same. Here is the breakdown of what pwnage tools 2.0 can do at this time :
iPhone (1st Gen) with 2.0 - Activated, Unlocked & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).
iPod Touch with 2.0 - Activated & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).
iPhone (3G) with 2.0 - Activated, Jailbroken (with support for third party applications).
Still no release schedule yet, but the iPhone Dev team's blog post suggests the tool will be available soon.
Have they released the pwnage 2.0 tool for the original iPhone? A buddy of mine did the pwnage thing to his original iPhone a few months ago and it made it REALLY unstable. Is this really worth doing if your happy with AT&T and the app store? Does it have high chances of bricking your phone or is that kinda rare?
There is a petition at http://www.iphonefeatures.org to get Apple to include basic features such as ‘copy and paste’ and more bluetooth profiles in the next iPhone software release. Please sign it!
