It looks like even though the iPhoneDevTeam has officially unlocked the new iPhone 3G, they wont be supporting it with the forthcoming PwnageTool 2.0.  This is essentially being done for 'your own good', as they want to make sure the code is 100% safe before they release it to the public.  Check out the official statement:

 

Quote:

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.

Apple released an update (b103) just before we were about to release and that support had to be added to the current version, it is pointless to release something that doesn’t work on devices out of the box (we’ve been told new 3Gs will have this firmware), we don’t want drama, and we want to do as little support as possible, so we want to make it right the first time.

It was lucky that we delayed slightly as we discovered a bug that causes unexpected behavior when using AppStore and third party applications on the same device. We are working on fixing that bug now, we don’t anticipate it is a big one, it has some really odd side effects, causing WiFi dropouts and the loss of stored passwords for WiFi networks. Of course this is only a minor software issue, nothing like the horrible static MAC address that another “elite byte adjuster” forced upon their users.

So, currently (when released) 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).

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.

As soon as we fix this up and test a bit more we’ll be ready for release, we’ll get back to you with a release schedule soon.

Please loosen that seatbelt slightly while our cabin crew serve you complimentary drinks.

Yes for those of you who are wondering if i made a typo or not, 1.1.5 is out. Right now, it is unclear on what 1.1.5 brings to the iPod Tocuh/iPhone, but this firmware is for you if you haven't gotten 2.0. But becareful what you do, this firmware might not be jailbreakable and if it is some Jailbroken apps might not work. Download at your own risk.

One w ord-wow

After spending 2 days with the much anticipated 2.0, I can’t even begin to think of why I even hesitated. 2.0 ads much anticipated features such as the App Store as well as the "Bulk Delete and Move" feature in the Mail section. What else? – Push Email, Calendar, and Contacts. So many big features were added that the little add-ons get over looked. Two of my favorite is the search while you type and now it displays the last digit you type in passwords (no more screw ups!). Yes, those are minor and seem unimportant, but they are nifty in getting things done on the go.

 

App Store: If apple has EVER done anything right then it is this. The app store works flawlessly and is a much needed improvement compared to the "Installer" app on Jailbroken iPods. No more soft reboots after every app you install is always a good thing. Yes, Apple does charge you for some apps, but a ton are great and even free.


Top 3 Free Apps I have and enjoy:

 

  • Remote: Apple did another thing great? Yes sir! Controlling your iTunes throughout your house is simply amazing. Be sure to be on the same router though; It won’t work without that.

  • AIM: It’s great. It’s fast. Its fun to use. It works just like you would imagine- IM people and get a response instantly. No delay, works just like if you were on the computer!

  • Myspace Mobile App: Myspace is great. Everybody (mostly) has one. Going to the web page takes forever and a half though on the Touch/iPhone. Now you can message people, comment people, and even add photos! his app provides an easy and effective way to get your myspace accessible anywhere!

 

Push Mail, Calendar, and Contacts: The Pricing of Mobile Me is a joke! $99…i think not. This proves Steve Jobs wants gold Toilet Seat. Instead, for email, I used Yahoo! Yahoo! has been doing push email since day one and it works (for some users…still reported bugs for other)!

 

Saving Pictures from the Web: One feature I missed most was not being able to save pictures off the internet. You would have to download it from your desktop and then sync it to your ipod. It actually took to long for my liking so that was something that was not done often in my house. Now Apple made things easier!

 

Bottom Line: Would I upgrade again and lose the Installer and the glory of Jailbroken?-Yes. I feel like I just bought a new ipod and I used it more in the past 2 days since the day I brought it home from the hospital…I mean circuit city. Also, knowing the 2.0 Jailbreaker is just around the corner, I can have the best of both worlds. Hit up the direct download link to get it for the iPhone, or the tutorial link if you would like to know how to get it for the touch.

I'm sure most of you iPhone/iPod Touch users are waiting for the big day.. July 11th. Now for those of you who don't have a clue on what July 11th is SO special about heres a little re-cap.

                                                                                                         iPhone 2.0

Now back in June 9th, another big day, Apple had a WWDC 2008 Conference in SanFrancisco. That was the day the the "2.0" and iPhone 3G became a reality. June 9th was suppose to be the release date of iPhones' new software version 2.0.  But on that day, Steve Jobs announced that the actual release date is on July 11th. He ran us through some very important details and updates. Here is a list of the updates he announced:

 

iPhone:                                                                                                                                        

-New 2.0 is coming out

-New Model of iPhone is coming out

-New Features such as "Microsoft Enterprise" is coming out 

-Mobile AppStore is coming out

-The new iPhone SDK (Software Development Kit) is coming out

 

 

iPod:

-All if the Features on iPhone 2.0 is coming out on iPod 2.0

 

 

Macs:

-A sneek peak at Mac OS X 7.7 "Snow Leopard"

 

Other Apple Stuff:

-iTunes 7.7 is coming out.

 

Now when we heard the moment he said "Now this will all be availible at July 11" we were dissapointed. June 9th was suppose to be the date it all happens. But it was said, "July 11". Now we all are looking forward to Friday. But now a question has raised. Is 2.0 Jailbreakable? We will find out Soon.
