Well, the wait is finally over…at least for Mac owners. Yes, finally the iPhone Dev Team have released the Pwnage 2.0 software, allowing all iPhone/iPod Touch owners the best of both worlds, with both the App Store and third party unofficial stuff ready and working on a single handset.
Obviously their servers have gone into complete meltdown, but persevere and the download is well worth it!
There have been reports of slight issues in getting Pwnage to jailbreak handsets, but the majority seem to be enjoying it! Oh, and don’t forget this software isn’t quite ready yet for Windows people, with the Apple version coming out first for once. Also, whilst this program does jailbreak an iPhone 3G, it does not yet unlock it from the network’s clutches like it does with a 1st gen.
Our Apps coverage was delayed a bit due to wanting to try it out on a jailbroken handset, but like their site says, “thanks for waiting!” Expect an explosion of stuff about the weird and wonderful world of the App Store, as well as the lesser known Installer in the coming days!
UPDATE : Okay…the first one wasn’t as stable as everyone hoped, but this new 2.0.1 floating around is said to cure all ills and give your hair more shine and body. Keep you posted…
UPDATE 2: Yeah, it works… No network unlocking for iPhone 3G, no Installer support, and no Intellivision Intelliscreen. We are distraught. Alternative third party app device Cydia does work, and that provides some relief, but a lot of the orginal jailbroken goodness is gone. Perhaps hang on for Installer 2.0?
