iPhone 3G Jailbroken — Ha!

July 21st, 2008 · 1 Comment

Well that didn’t take long.

In a short post titled “Thanks for waiting :) ” released yesterday, the iPhone Dev Team released Pwnage 2.0 for jailbreaking iPhones running the iPhone firmware version 2.0.

It should be noted that this doesn’t unlock your iPhone, it only opens up all the things that the old Jailbreak used to do.  With the advent of the app store, this is now more of a “hardcore” change than ever before… but nonetheless, Kudos to the iPhone Dev team!

Update #1: I also meant to note that un the first day since this was released, the blog entry received over 2800 comments.  Thats one way to get traffic.  :P

      I was thinking that this is one of the “nail in the coffin” factors for Android. It was a great idea on Android’s part to encourage third party apps, but when Apple effectively monetized freelance developer time (who also happen to be the target demographic) with appstore, they suddenly made the market that much harder to enter.
