@Joseph:

yes, like comparison pricing on bananas.

@graphx:
uh dude you just don't update until the jailbreak is updated. it's not that hard.

hanspecans

I'll be jailbreaking just to be able to customize the look-and-feel of the interface. I don't understand why Steve doesn't want us to have personalized backgrounds.

phoomp

Yay!

@James: "ever" is a strong claim. I do agree that there are a lot of Apps that Apple just can't release though the AppStore channel.

Joseph

@iCarmen 2.0-Yellow Free Edition!: There are plenty of tweeks that arent, and never will be, available in the App store. Right now, as it stands, nothing that runs in the background will ever be there. Interface manipulation / customization also won't ever show up on the App store.

James

I cant wait for someone to say "I upgraded my iphone to 2.0 and now T-mobile doesnt work! What do I do?"

seda

I'll be traveling in Europe for 3 months later this year, so it is a serious yay.

MrBlahBlah

I am still deciding wether or not to unlock my iPhone
hmmm...I don't know if I see the benefit now, now that the App store is open.

iCarmen 2.0-Yellow Free Edition!

Time to roll back to the iPhone 2.5G!

Joseph

the only thing about jailbreaking that i don't like is what happens when a new update comes out for the iPhone. BAM all that hard work is put right back to stock, OEM, erased, and you have to repeat the process.

graphx

Interesting, so Apple was able to hold off unlocking for the firs 1 million or so users. Well, if they can't get an unlock in the next 30 days ATT will be very happy.

mrsalty

Measure twice, cut once is an adage that should certainly apply to product releases... You'll never catch me complaining about waiting for something more polished to be released.

ezman

I've been hoping for this. I definitely think there are many more applications to be had on installer that are not present on the App store. Who want to be a $10 3D iCopter when I can have side-scrolling 2D action for free?! Besides, what is the point of unlocking if you didn't pay the subsidized price of the iPhone 3G? You're still spending a ton up front.

mykalt45

Until an AppStore application enables SMS forwarding, then there will be a reason for jailbreaking.

787style

@hanspecans: im not putting the idea down... relax. i have never done it before and have only heard what other people have told me about it, which is what i was talking about. didn't know that if you just waited till the update for the jailbreak came out that all of your changes would be safe from a reformat. good to know though.

graphx

Yes there is a point, FREE APPS from the APPS store. one jailbrocken you will be able to slip paid applications from online source for free. who wants to pay 10$ for tetris? not me!@iCarmen 2.0-Yellow Free Edition!:

Tossik

They've been saying this since day 1.

robotleawesome

@Parapraxis: I lerv bananas. I think I might unlock my iPhone when it comes out (SEE NUTBASTARD..I KNEW!)

iCarmen 2.0-Yellow Free Edition!

"I am still deciding wether or not to unlock my iPhone
hmmm...I don't know if I see the benefit now, now that the App store is open."

I unlocked my iPhone to use with TMobile. I don't have a contract, just month to month. I am using a BB plan and I have unlimited txt and internet on it for $75 a month. (With 1000 minutes)

Besides not having visual voicemail I am very happy with TMobile using my iPhone.

Dev team said:
iPod Touch with 2.0 - Activated & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).

so plenty of love for everyvody except 3G "unlock".

3lixir

@meefer: @xxdesmus: You know it's pretty interesting that the iPod touch isn't getting much shine.

@Parapraxis: Haha yeah you need that!

Joseph

iPod Touch jailbreak too?

xxdesmus

No love for ipod touch? Not that I'd know which version of the firmware they would concentrate on anyways, friggin 2.0 -> 1.1.5 weirdness.

meefer

why is this news?

KeithJ

@phoomp: werd, mine before 3g

untitledjL

I was somewhat out of the loop on the last pwnage tool release-- did they finally release a win version or was it osx only? I'm wondering if I'll need to line up borrowing a mac for this new release...

picassolsus

Just so I have it straight, if those that unlock are violating their use agreement they won't be upset when Apple/ATT remote brick their phones right? Just checking.

VidarSilkworm

@untitledjL: agreed that is sweeet.

graphx

@untitledjL: How did you make it look like that?!

Mind sharing what app you used to do it, or was it a little bit of hacking on your own?

Simply amazing!

x3r0

@untitledjL: Yes I would like to try something like that when/if I jailbreak my iphone 3g (as long as all apps and jailbroken apps learn to play nice)

Sam_Zebian

@untitledjL: I had that one except the wallpaper had the back of her head with a mask.

At any rate as long as i can get my installer and app store on im totally kosher.

snakepliskin

@x3r0: i used summer board for the theme and customize to rearrange the icons. pretty easy to do. that theme there is called damino: [anjuna.deviantart.com] Both apps should be available through the installer app

untitledjL

@3lixir: can't wait to get my hands on the jailbreak for the Touch. I wish they'd at least release that even if they are having trouble with the iPhone jailbreak.
