iPhone OS 3.1.2 Unlock Accomplished, Dropping November 4
7:12AM Chris Jacob | Geohot, the same hacker who first jailbroke OS 3.1.2, is now also the first to crack the 3.1.2 baseband.

Good news for anyone looking to unlock a newly purchased device. You’ll have to be patient, though. The exploit won’t be released until November 4. [BGR]
