Apple iPhone 3GS unlocked

George Hotz, the 20-year old hacker who originally unlocked the iPhone, has released a jailbreaking application for the iPhone 3GS codenamed “purplera1n.” It’s currently Windows-only (Windows 7 not supported), and requires the latest iTunes installed, and an iPhone 3GS with the 3.0 firmware.

Hotz mentions in a blog post that the jailbreak for Mac is “coming soon.” The iPhone Dev Team did release a unlock for 3.0 which did not work on the iPhone 3GS, but Hotz’s version does (although it doesn’t free you from your current carrier).

Hotz goes over the process of the jailbreaking on his blog:

    Connect your iPhone normally. Click “make it ra1n”. Wait. On bootup, run Freeze, the purplera1n installer app.

Is it true that Apple iPhone 3GS easily overheats?

 

"It's not yet clear how badly, if at all, some iPhone 3GS devices are overheating. Also unclear is the number of handsets affected. Assuming that number is greater than zero, the cause of the sizzling phones remains a mystery. Some users are blaming GPS, while others are blaming game playing. Some are speculating it's a battery issue, while others suspect faulty power management in the iPhone 3.0 software.

 ...there are accounts percolating in the Applesphere that suggest 3GS batteries are quick to overheat. A French Web site -- Le Journal du Geek -- included a photo of what appears to be a 3GS that overheated to the point of scorching."

No Apple iPhone porn apps for now

 

"The Hottest Girls app is temporarily sold out. The server usage is extremely high because of the popularity of this app. Thus, by not distributing the app, we can prevent our servers from crashing. Customer satisfaction is more important to us than profits. Those who already have the app will still be able to use our app. To answer the question on everyone's mind: Yes, the topless images will still be there when it is sold again."

"President Barack Obama's choice to head the Federal Communications Commission plans to review the exclusive arrangements between wireless carriers and cell phone makers.


The issue of exclusive agreements among some of the biggest companies like Apple Inc's iPhone and service provider AT&T Inc is at the center of some lawmakers' concerns about whether such practices hinder competition and innovation."

Why is Nokia's N97 smartphone worth 700 USD?

"The reason the price of the N97 is still so high is that Nokia is not selling it through any particular carrier. Instead it will be sold to U.S. customers in Nokia flagship stores in New York and Chicago as well as online...

For the Apple iPhone 3G S and Palm Pre, however, consumers must sign a two-year contract to get the discounted prices. These phones are exclusive to one carrier. Subscribers are also charged an early cancellation fee if they terminate their contract before it ends..."
