iPhone 3G: Released Friday, Pwned Tuesday

General

It took four whole days after the release of the iPhone 3G for Apple’s new handset to get the dev team’s jailbreak treatment. Will these guys ever stop impressing us? Their latest feat isn’t available to the public just yet but the above video shows a dev team member connection via SSH to an iPhone 3G. The dev team is currently working out some details but upon release – here comes the really good part – the new jailbreak will allow iPhone and iPhone 3G users to run Apple-approved apps AND jailbreak apps side by side with no problem! That’s right people; App Store, Installer and Cydia living side by side with no problem. The dev team believes that users should have the choice between Apple-governed apps and open apps, and we couldn’t agree more. Also, the App Store isn’t available in every country so this will give all iPhone owners access to great iPhone apps. The new pwnage tools will also supply a solution for the now-required signing process so that any and all iPhone apps will install just fine. As to exactly when we can expect a public release, we’ve just been told “soon”. Hey, that’s fine with us. Take your time dev team, you know we love you…

    I imagine Apple will call their bet by releasing a software update within four days to brick iPhones that do this.

    Man it would be so nice if something like this team was out there and dedicated to doing the same for Blackberry smartphones! There are SO many more of them than there are iPhone’s, and more than a few folks who would like to see the wireless carrier’s ability to lock out Blackberry device features get slapped down a notch!

    Why do people think they ‘pwned’ the iPhone while they are working for free to make the iPhone more attractive? Who pwned who here?
