The iPhone 3G/iPod touch 2G is a tougher nut to crack
The iPhone 3G was unveiled by Steve Jobs back in June, but hackers are having a tougher time cracking the software to make the iPhone carrier-free and jailbreak the iPod touch. It seems that one of the under-the-hood improvements carried out by the Cupertino geeks was making the devices harder to crack.
The current state of play is that the iPhone 3G has been jailbroken so that third-party software can run on it, but it has yet to be unlocked to make it carrier-free. The iPod touch 2G, which was released a couple of weeks ago, has so far not been jailbroken.
