About 5 hours ago, we were able to verify that the 24Kpwn exploit that the hybrid team used on the iPod Touch 2G is still present in the bootrom of the iPhone 3GS. That means we can apply the same sort of technique used by our current redsn0w tool to jailbreak and unlock the iPhone 3GS.

This is great news!

For our technical notes on where the 24Kpwn exploit is in the 3GS, see here (pastebin hash of it is here).

And yes, ultrasn0w will be able to be run on the iPhone 3Gs for you unlockers!

Looks like I'll be upgrading from my iPhone 2G a lot sooner than I thought.

Record for the iPhone Dev Team, an old jailbreak (for a previous generation model) method is still alive and will even provide unlocking solutions at the same time!

Looks like I'll be upgrading from my iPhone 2G a lot sooner than I thought.

Ditto

Apple is going to see a nice jump in sales of the 3GS once the JB gets released.
