The iPhone Dev Team has just released PwnageTool 2.0, thus bringing jailbreak and non-App Store third-party application support to iPhones/iPod Touches running firmware 2.0. First-generation iPhones can also be unlocked. At this time, the iPhone 3G cannot be unlocked or used with BootNeuter.
Erica will post more details later tonight or tomorrow, and the Dev Team promises a more detailed announcement soon.
As always, be cautious if you decide to install PwnageTool 2.0 and make proper backups of all of your data before proceeding, understand that installing software like PwnageTool is unsupported by Apple, blah blah blah.
Enjoy!

The App Store is live, and we’re taking a peek around before it implodes from curious users trying to download dozens of apps for their iPhones and iPods touch (or is that iPod touches?).
Already users can start downloading their programs (which are downloaded to their /Users/[user]/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/ directory as .ipa files), but you can’t do anything with them until you get the 2.0 firmware (or an iPhone 3G).
So far everything is really smooth and easy to use, although it’s easy to tell that the enormous amount of applications that will be available in the coming months (and years) will become a difficult thing to trudge through. It’s a high-class problem for Apple, but hopefully it won’t be too overwhelming to find something good if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for.
We’ll be keeping tally of some of the more noteworthy launch apps, although many we’ve already seen:
- AIM - duh
- Google Mobile - “a great place to start your search”
- Twitterrific - Finally, a legit, standalone Twitter client
- Bomberman Touch
- Epocrates Rx - An app to help identify “mystery pills” you might find. Very helpful.
We’ll be updating with more info as we go!

Gizmodo is reporting that Apple stores have started receiving their new window displays for the iPhone 3G launch. The iPhone display is similar to those that showed for last year’s iPhone launch — with a few design changes to mimic the iPhone 3G.
According to Gizmodo, Apple stores around the country will be putting up these displays today. Gizmodo has a gallery of pictures on their site for your viewing pleasure.
