The iPhone Dev Team has issued its latest posting with an update on the iPhone 3G unlock process, while also sharing some of the stats on page views, visitor networks and browsers having accessed the Dev Team’s blog site.

Anyone still waiting on a software unlock for the iPhone 3G can just keep on waiting if the iPhone Dev Team’s latest blog posting is anything to go by... which, of course, it certainly is.

The specifically state that: “While we work on the unlock of the 3G iPhone (we are making slow, but steady progress and we have no estimation of when, or even if we’ll be able to unlock the 3G iPhone)”.

They also share that they’ve had “lots of requests to see some blog usage statistics, so here are some for the last month (July 13th - August 13th 2008).”

Page Statistics:-

    * 6,081,584 page views during July 13-Aug 13 2008

So, unless the iPhone Dev Team are purposefully keeping us in the dark over any iPhone 3G unlock breakthroughs or surprises, a true software unlock, (as opposed to one performed with a special “Yessim” or “Turbosim-style” SIM card, which the Dev Team thinks aren’t worth the trouble), is still quite some time away.
