An Evening with George Shearing & Mel Torm�

- Of the three men who taught me how to sing, the last was Mel Torme. Apparently, Mel Torme is a joke to anyone more than a decade older than me, a living parody of a Vegas crooner. But I stumbled on th

iPhone Dev Team Says PwnageTool 2.0 Coming Soon
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008 at 4:00 PM - by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
The iPhone Dev Team has been working on a tool to unlock and jailbreak the iPhones and iPod touch. It’s not quite ready to release, but a blog post on Thursday provided a taste of things to come.
"So we’ve been working hard on getting the release ready and during this process we’ve been fixing some final bugs, the actual base of PwnageTool application is working fine and working with all devices that we support....
"We’ve been restoring our devices to various firmware revisions so that we can try to reproduce the conditions that most users will have. We are able to fully install any applications on any part of the current devices running 2.0 (and b103) and these versions are the iPhone 114, iPhone 2.0, iPhone 3G."
When released, the PwnageTool 2.0 will support:
- iPhone (1st Gen) with 2.0 - Activated, Unlocked & Jailbroken,(with support for third party applications).
- iPod Touch with 2.0 - Activated & Jailbroken,(with support for third party applications).
- iPhone (3G) with 2.0 - Activated, Jailbroken (with support for third party applications).
Unlocking the iPhone 3G has proved to be a challenge, and that will have to wait for a future version. "We’ve made some progress on the baseband unlock of the 3G device, but at this point PwnageTool will not support 3G unlocking or BootNeuter on the 3G device. It is, of course supported on the first generation device with 2.0. We’ll push out an update with 3G support if and when it is completed," the blog concluded.
The release of the PwnageTool 2.0 was described as "soon."
