Just want Apple wants

This way users can get a full set of apps increasing the desirability of the device whilst Apple can say they did all they could to lock it down thus preventing lawsuits from concerned parents and copyright owners.

I wouldn't be surprised if Apple put this vulnerability in on purpose.

Dev-team got owned!

Just a clarification, ultrasn0w is the unlock app for 2g-3g phones made by the dev-team.

Redsn0w is their jailbreaking app. It does NOT support 3gs as Geohot beat them to the punch line with purplera1n.

Currently, ultrasn0w will work to unlock the new 3gs devices that have been jailbroken by Geohot's tool.

-**However upgrading to the beta 3.1 OS will prevent 3gs users from ever unlocking their phone with ultrasn0w due to the baseband chip being updated**-

If you want to read more about the history of the rivalry between hotz and the dev-team, check out the George Hotz Wikipedia article.

What's the point?

Such funky named programs don't look to be very user-friendly, I guess they require some thinking to work. Given the average smartness level of someone who spends that amount of money on a small noisy thing that becomes obsolete in a few months, I wonder who the hell this piece of underground software is aimed for.

Same Day

I bought my 3Gs on Saturday and jail broke it the same day. The programs do work.

wrong

The iPhone 3.0 SOFTWARE on the iPhone 3G and iPhone (notice the lack of the 'S') were accomplished on the day after it came out (if not before) The 3GS (notice the 'S') has just been jailbroken.

Already done

This has already been accomplished by the iPhone Dev Team. The program is called ultrasn0w. They released it the day after the new iPhone and 3.0 firmware came out

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
