Apple's new iPhone OS and App Store have certainly opened some new doors for iPhones old and new. But has Apple's shiny walled garden not felt quite jailbreaky enough to inspire you to upgrade? Now you can safely make the leap and free your inner iPhone with the much-anticipated release of a jailbreak tool for iPhone OS 2.0.
With a post titled "Thanks for waiting," the infamous iphone-dev team has announced Pwnage 2.0, a new version of its jailbreaking and unlocking software for the iPhone and iPod touch. Pwnage Tool can now jailbreak iPhone OS 2.0 running on an iPhone 3G, iPod touch, and original iPhone. It can unlock original iPhones as well, but not iPhone 3Gs yet. Just to make this absolutely clear: Pwnage 2.0 can jailbreak an iPhone 3G running iPhone OS 2.0, but not unlock it yet.
From preliminary reports and comments at TUAW, it sounds like the jailbreak is working for most people with both original and iPhone 3Gs running iPhone OS 2.0. A few users are reporting random problems, and the iphone-dev team has listed a solution for what is apparently a common error some jailbreakers are running into.
Unlocking the iPhone 3G is obviously on the to-do list, but you'll just have to be happy with the unlocking gift the iphone-dev team gave you for now.
