iPhone 3G soft unlock coming Dec 31, 2008!
The long awaited iPhone 3G unlock is now two weeks away, with the iPhone Dev Team claiming to have completed the work needed to break through Apple’s restrictions, and merely packaging everything up into a “user-friendly applications with the simplicity you see in QuickPwn or BootNeuter”.
Proclaiming that “'Tis the Season to be Jolly!”, the iPhone Dev Team’s announcement is like an early Christmas present that you can claim days after the event, and as long as no last minute bugs needs squishing, will be delivered to users in 2008, 6 months after the iPhone 3G was first unleashed unto the world.
The Dev Team notes that iPhone 3G baseband 2.11.07 or earlier is required, and that they did warn users NOT to update with Apple’s official updates so as to ensure the initial 3G unlock would work.L33tdawg: It's also interesting to note that the DevTeam feels the recent DFU mode / USB 'problems' in the unibody Macbook / Macbook Pros and the 10.5.6 update released yesterday are BUGS and not an INTENTIONAL effort from Apple to stop unlockers/jailbreakers...
