George Hotz, AKA Geohot, who came up with the first unlock for the original iPhone, has beaten the iPhone Dev Team to the punch. He's released a jailbreaking app for the iPhone 3GS code-named purplera1n.However, if you troll through the comments on the blog post he write announcing the jailbreak, it seems clear that the break isn't bulletproof. At the same time, however, Hotz throws down the gauntlet to the iPhone Dev Team.
Normally I don't make tools for the general public, and rather wait for the dev team to do it. But guys, whats up with waiting until 3.1? That isn't how the game is played. We release, Apple fixes, we find new holes. It isn't worth waiting because you might have the "last" hole in the iPhone. What last hole...this isn't golf. I'll find a new one next week. Also your purplera1nyday files ensure that you can always get back to a jailbroken state, so if you have it it's just a matter of tools.The Dev Team has said they were waiting for the iPhone 3.1 release to release their own jailbreaking app. Meanwhile, they showed that they already have an unlock using ultrasn0w ready to go.
Watch their video below.
