Great news to all iPhone 3GS owners, the iPhone DevTeam has confirmed that the 24kpwn exploit used to crack open the iPod touch 2G is also applicable to the bootrom of the iPhone 3GS. This means that by using the redsnow tool, the team can jailbreak and unlock the iPhone 3GS.

Piergirgio Zambrini, the guy behind the ZiPhone Unlocking Tool, has found a bug in Apple's video format that crashes the iPhone. A potential crack that hackers can exploit? Hopefully not.

It seems like Apple has become extra vigilant against the jailbreaking efforts of homebrew developers as of late. The most recent release of iTunes (version 8) has reportedly been able to effectively detect and prevent PwnageTool from using its exploit on the iPhone or iPod touch. A countermeasure is currently in the works to combat Apple's new anti-jailbreaking move. Find out more in our full article.
