iPhone gets Jailbroken
Kunal Gangar, Nov 24, 2008 1748 hrs ISTUpdate misses business features. Jailbroken within 2 days of the update'
Apple released the v2.2 firmware update for the iPhone as well as iPod Touch. Though the update has brought in some nice inclusions, business users have been left wanting more. The new update did not bring the much-needed data encryption on the device, password PIN limited to four numeric digits, and no synchronization notes calendar as compared to Microsoft Exchange. And yes, how can we forget copy paste?!
On the other hand, iPhone Dev team managed to jailbreak the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 1G. However, there is still no support for iPod Touch 2G users.
The availability of Quickpwn (Windows & Mac) and Pwnage (Mac) will enable a user to jailbreak both the iPhone variants and iPod Touch 1G, while unlocking is only possible for iPhone 2G.
The team recommends to instal a custom ipsw instead of official ipsw because the baseband upgrade in the v2.2 will close the doors for users looking for a potential unlock.
