????
Now it looks like the rumor on the dev team blog is saying 02.28.00 may be unlocked as well??? Read the comments in the code post.

According to the cryptic clues on the site the software unlock will work with the latest baseband also (although I'd wait until 9am UK time to be sure).
Check out the post at the Dev team Blog.
Lots of rumors being flung around in the comments.
Apparently vtaber 61060174 means ignore post 61060174.
We'll see.....

Straight from the Dev Team Blog:
Update 1: The scamming douchebag is at it again. We DO NOT have a twitter account called yellownsn0w, and similarly no .net domain name related to yellowsn0w, dont add this to your bookmarks. We would like you guys (currently 29 of you) to stop following him on twitter, and to also block him if he is following you. We need to see that 29 number decrease! do it people! He is a spammer! :-(

iPhone 3G Unlock Coming Tonight
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/12/31/reminder-iphone-3g-unlock-coming-tonight/
Were now just hours away from the New Year, which means were also hours away from yellowsn0w courtesy of the Dev-Team. Yellowsn0w, for those with short memories, is the Dev-Teams solution for soft-unlocking the iPhone 3G. After MuscleNerds successful demo last week, iPhone 3G owners have been anxiously awaiting 2009 as with it comes the public release of the Dev-Teams work. A curious post has just gone up on the Dev-Team blog however, which has sparked tons of speculation:
2008?

There have been tons of guesses made as to the posts meaning and since were not coders, well leave it to all you hackers out there to figure this one out. If you think you can shed some light, definitely drop us a comment here and let use know. To this point, the most convincing explanation comes from teamare in the posts comments section:
Converted to Ascii the message reads vtaber 61060174″. vtaber converted to ROT13 reads, ignore.
It is possible that this means to ignore post 61060174 on the iPhone Dev-Teams blog. The post entitled, The man from DelMonte - He say Yes! is a warning not to update to iPhone firmware 2.2 using iTunes. Perhaps the iPhone Dev-Team has figured out a way to unlock the new baseband that came with 2.2 as well.
In other words, the Dev-Team might just have one last trick up its collective sleeve and yellowsn0w may have been tweaked to unlock any currently available iPhone 3G firmware / baseband versions. Woo! So, if you can manage your way around a keyboard tomorrow morning post-New Years partying, there should be a nice surprise from the Dev-Team waiting to usher you into 2009 SIM-lock free.

From the info they posted, and the rumors flying around, the new software unlock for the 3g will work on all basebands.
Not Yet
0930 East Australian time and I have just checked the DevTeam Blog and the unlock hasn't been released yet.
I would guess tomorrow or Jan 3 some time.
I am wondering if the phone will upgrade say to the next Apple software 2.3 or whatever and still remain unlocked ?

Assuming I understood musclenerd's presentation correctly, their work consisted of 2 parts; (1) the code that does the unlock and (2) determining where to hook into the baseband. (1) was the harder of the two parts however it can be reused. My guess is this is how they came up with the unlock code for the 2.2 baseband.
A side benefit of this software unlock is it will, for all intents and purposes, put the hardware unlock solutions, with all their problems, out of business.

Did anyone notice?
In that screenshot I thought I saw something in the middle, So i put it into photoshop and turned down the brightness and contrast and it reads
"Backgrounding enabled (continue holding to force quit)"
Is that there on purpose?
Update #2 form dev team blog:
Edit: 801 beat me to it....
