iPhone Firmware 2.0 Jailbroken three months ahead of launch





The iPhone Dev Team have once again proved their worth by Jailbreaking Apple’s Firmware 2.0 for the iPhone – yes, the firmware that won’t be officially launched until June. The screenshot they provided – with a video apparently coming soon – shows apps running on the new firmware, which would normally require an as-yet-unawarded developer’s certificate.

The screenshot above shows a “Parental Controls” setting inside the “General” iPhone settings. It seems as though you can enable the parental controls and turn on or off:

  • Playing explicit songs in iPod
  • Website control in Safari
  • YouTube control
  • iTunes Wi-Fi Store control
  • AppStore control

Currently the Jailbreak only works with hacked activation iPhones, meaning AT&T users won’t be able to use it, but they’re promising a finessed version now that this proof-of-concept is confirmed. We should also get a conclusive list of new functionality.
