iPhone 3GS jailbreak released

Source: Permalink

George Hotz, better known as GeoHot, has released the first publicly available jailbreak application for the iPhone 3GS. Although it doesn't directly provide freedom from AT&T, "purplera1n" allows applications not approved by Apple to run on that company's latest handset, including the Dev-Team's ultrasn0w carrier unlock app.

iPhone carrier unlock “Ultrasn0w” released

Source: Permalink

The DevTeam released its heavily anticipated carrier unlock for the iPhone 3.0 firmware early this morning. "Ultrasn0w" allows 3G and original iPhone users to make phone calls with any GSM SIM card rather than remaining "locked" to an official carrier. The software-based unlock comes less than six days after Apple's release of iPhone OS 3.0 but does not work with the recently launched 3GS handset.
