My brothers of Apple, I am stunned once again. Even worse, it happens on Monday, but I hope I won't remain this way this week. I am safe and sound, nothing really bad happened, only that a few hours ago I found out about the new
iPhone 2.1 firmware. So far, so good, but I found it absolutely incredible to know that the jailbroken version is also ready, virtually at the same time with the official one coming from Apple! Considering this, I wouldn't be amazed to see that, next time, the jailbroken version arrives first...
...but let's leave the future where it belongs, and look at what we have here, shall we? On "
The unofficial, official blog of the "iphone-dev team"," a post about a day old says it clear, white on black:
"
Here are the new versions of PwnageTool and QuickPwn that support the 2.1 firmware. And as we just mentioned, iTunes was not harmed in the process ;-) no patching was required."
The funny part is that these guys from the so-called "iPhone Dev Team" hacked into the iPhone firmware 2.1 in an instant, but didn't take care of the iPod Touch 2.1 firmware yet, although that one was released a few days earlier.
Unfortunately, there's also a downside of the whole story: this jailbreak doesn't work with the new iPod Touch 2G, as I just said, and it doesn't work for iPhone 3Gs, either, being a pleasure reserved only for iPhones or first generation iPod Touch only.
