Installer 4 and PwnageTool 2.0.2 to be released today The iPhone Dev Team has updated their site about Pwnage 2.0.2 . It was supposed to be released yesterday, but they have announced that it will be released today and will include Installer 4.

"We’ve just had word that our friends at RiPDev almost have Installer 4 (Beta) ready for public beta release, with that awesome news we’ve decided to include it in the PwnageTool 2.0.2 release, we are waiting for the software from them and we need to quickly test and add a small couple of changes that go alongside Installer.

Usually we don’t give release dates, this is so we don’t feel pressured into releasing something if it isn’t ready, or we can hold off if something comes up in the last minute (last time this was the addition of the 3G jailbreak), today we thought we were releasing, and you guys seemed restless (we read the comments) so we said “sometime today”.

We think the Installer 4 beta is big news, and I’m sure lots of you guys want it and because of this the release should now take place sometime tomorrow (Friday), we want to do all this in one hit, we don’t want to make two releases in two day."

  "Am I Rich" $999.99 less than "I am Rich"

Who said all the great apps are on the App Store? "Am I Rich" (not to be confused with "I am Rich") is a new application for Jailbroken iPhone users from BigBoss . You get all the features of the $999.99 app without spending the cash. Doesn't it feel good to pay less...

(Installed on my 1st generation, Jailbroken, unlocked iPhone.)

  Pwnage Tool 2.0.2 to be released today

The iPhone DevTeam has announced that the Pwnage Tool 2.0.2 will be released today allowing Jailbreaking of iPhone firmware 2.0.1.

"PwnageTool 2.0.2 is undergoing final checks and will be packaged, signed and should be uploaded within the next few hours, so count on it being released sometime on Thursday. This will be available via the PwnageTool software updater that is built in and checked when you start PwnageTool, we’ll also publish a link here for direct downloads.

* As always PwnageTool 2.0.2 contains Cydia, in fact it contains a new version of Cydia with some bugfixes and other general goodness, thanks saurik!

* Installer 4 isn’t released by RiPDev as yet so PwnageTool 2.0.2 does not include installer.app - check out the RiPDev blog for the latest information.

* WinPwn uses compatible bundles (as provided by Planetbeing’s XPwn code), so we anticipate that WinPwn will be updated soon after our PwnageTool release, so Windows users shouldn’t have to wait too long! Please remember the DevTeam doesn’t provide end-user support for WinPwn!"

  iPhone Dev Team Jailbreaks and Unlocks iPhone 2.0 Firmware Gizmodo is reporting that the iPhone Dev Team has already unlocked and jailbroken the just released today iPhone 2.0 Firmware. Don't believe me? Here's Gizmodo's proof:

"If you were wondering how I was doing push email tests on iPhone OS 2.0 and Vodafone UK, this is the reason why. The code wizard commandos at the iPhone Dev Team have been working on this non-stop since the early days of beta testing. In fact, I had iPhone OS 2.0 running on my iPhone since last week. That was version 5A345, two below 5A347, but identical in functionality.

Now that the official iPhone OS 2.0 is out, the iPhone Dev Team will release their Pwnage tool for everyone to unlock and jailbreak their iPhones soon."

Here's Gizmodo's video of MobileMe's Push Mail on an unlocked & Jailbroken iPhone 2.0 . Who would have thought 2.0 would be jailbroken and unlocked already???
