For all you guys running v1.1.1 iPod Touch or iPhone, yup your time has come to finally enable (or re-enable) third party applications on your device.

Thanks to the hackers, including:  metasploit, rezn, dinopio, drudge, kroo, pumpkin, davidc, dunham, and NerveGas, we are now able to jailbreak our phones/players to allow us to install 3rd Party Applications without using a computer on a previously untouched device. [[VISIT - JailBreakMe.com]]

For those who have no idea what this means, sorry. You kind of have to know.-Ed

We’ve got a number of tip-offs via e-mail (tips [at] technoessence [dot] com) and it looks like that the iPhone has been jailbreaked, and 3rd party apps are now loadable onto the two devices. Just for clarification, does this mean that it can be unlocked, or have Apple used further security measures?

And reports that the iPhone has indeed been unlocked with v1.1.1 are somewhat true, albeit the fact that it’s supposed to take 5 hours. -Ed

GUI-Version of iPhoneDevTeam’s unlock has been released. In terms that shouldn’t make you think your Stupid, this means that they’ve made a free, easy to use unlock for the Apple iPhone. Most people in Ireland should still go with UnlockThatiPhone, because where the hell are you going to get an iPhone, unless you already have one, More…

The iPhone Dev Team have just announced their latest version, and guess what? It takes only five minutes to use. But I still think for Irish users, it’s best to go with UnlockThatiPhone.com (unlock video coming Monday) as you can’t order an iPhone from the Dev Team, which means that anyone of this side of the pond, would either have to fly over, and get an iPhone and then unlock it, or order a ridiculously expensive phone on ebay, and then unlock it.

But for anyone in the U.S.A. this is great. So basically, it’s all systems go, and the debate over the latest iPhone update will allow the phone to be unlocked, even though Apple said that they would try not to interfere.-Ed

We have just received a reply from UnlockThatiPhone.com, who have bought the software from iPhoneSimFree.com, and I am going to meet him in Cork City to see the unlock work it’s magic. They claim (I am quite certain they do have it) to use the software that was confirmed by Engadget and CNN, so this is pretty big.

In other iPhone news, Steve Jobs is offering $100 dollars back to anybody who bought an iPhone between the 29th of June and Yesterday, as I’m sure he wanted to avoid changing previously happy customers into the exact opposite.

We have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store.

Steve Jobs, Apple CEO and Founder

More Updates coming soon. -Ed
