[iPhone] Firmware 2.0 Unlocked

It is rumored that the iPhone Dev Team yet made it to jailbreak and unlock firmware 2.0. The firmware revision that has been found some hours ago on Apple’s download servers seems to be the real deal, although not being published via auto-update yet.

The Pwnage Tool is currently undergoing little modifications and testings to fully support firmware 2.0. Note that these information seem to apply to the iPhone 2G only, not the new iPhone 3G. Since the new iPhone is expected to use a new bootloader version.

Once the new Pwnage Tool has been released, we’re gonna provide a HowTo. Check back regularly. For now you find our “old” Pwnage HowTo for firmware 1.1.4 here.

Anyway this is good news: congrats to the iPhone Dev Team. Live long and prosper, guys!!!

Update 12.07.2008: see video of Pwnage Tool 2.0 here (sadly Pwnage Tool is not yet publicly released)… though)…

[iPhone] SDK released

Yesterday Steve Jobs officially released the Software Developer Kit for the iPhone. US American developers can register here (link) in order to be officially allowed to develop for the iPhone. Sofar for the good news. The bad news as follows:

the iPhone Developer Programme is currently available only in the US and A
it costs 99USD (standard programme) to 299USD (enterprise programme)
Software to be uploaded to the iPhone via iTunes (via App Store)
70% of the price of an App will be given to the Devs, 30% will be kept by Apple for being so nice to having built the App Store – well thanks Steve that’s really what we’ve been waiting for: another business model adopted from the works of a supporting community, thanks a lot…
3rd party Software to be released beginning in june 2008

And finally: a new iPhone firmware 2.0 will be also released in june 2008. Well, well. I really like my App-Tab Installer and I really hope, it will survive.
