5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Anyone wanting a laugh can click on the link above to read the rest of iUnlock-iPhone’s press release, but if you want a tool that can do the same thing, go to the iPhone Dev Team’s blog entry for the Mac version of the PwnageTool and Quickpwn for 2.1 firmware here, while Windows users will find their own pwning tool in this Dev Team blog entry. As always, only the original iPhone 2G can be both jailbroken (for the use of unauthorised third party apps) and unlocked, while the iPhone 3G and the original iPod Touch can both only be jailbroken. No unlock yet exists for the iPhone 3G, although the Dev Team is hard at work to create one, and jailbreaking is still not yet possible for the second generation iPod Touch. The iPhone Dev Team at its blog has posted tantalising hints of potentially getting closer, which does show some progress, but no timeframe has been placed on the unlock, with iPhone 3G owners left to continue using their existing carrier, or in some countries, paying an official unlock fee to the carrier to gain the freedom to use virtually any SIM desired. A "Turbo-SIM" that sits on top of your existing SIM and fools phone company networks into believing a "test SIM" is in use is also available, but the Dev Team does not recommend their use and with all the fiddling and the cost of the SIM it's not much more to get an official unlock that is sanctioned by Apple and never subject to re-locking. Finally, the iPhone Dev Team’s software is free, and they accept no donations, so pay money for these apps or make donations only if you feel, in times of economic crisis, if you don’t need the money, because online scammers and criminals will be very happy to take it from you! |
