Did you notice that on the dev teams website that it now doesn't say MAC next to the pwnagetool download? Looks like a windows version could be out very shortly, maybe tomorrow?

Tried the Pwnage tool several times for the Touch. Didn't work. Tired of trying. Back to Ziphone for one-click ease.

@gamecrazychris: They don't accept donations anymore. They all have the equipment they need and they don't want to have the extra money. Also, they want to distinguish themselves from the likes of "zibri".

@redrabbit: Isn't Apple getting a revenue cut of every AT&T iPhone bill on top of the hardware sales?

I can't understand why Pwnage was released so early! We already had 2-3 ways to unlock the iPhone (ZiPhone-iLiberty etc)

Shouldn't be the Dev Team waiting for the Final release of iPhone v2.0? That's what they said a few months ago... This is so wrong... They are showing Apple what bugs to fix in every release!!! Am I wrong?

@workingonyourinvoice: OMG so true! WTF, is it really that hard to add MMS and get a copy and paste?

Nice going asshats. If Apple didn't have to devote so many engineers to locking the firmware down, we'd have freaking copy and paste by now. Maybe even SMS.

Dicks.

my big worry is that when 2.0 comes out, apple will wait until a hack is released, all of the naughties install it, then apple does there clever little remote murder thing (as demoed in the last keynote) and all unlocked iPhones get fried for good...

@jenheta:

As of right now, yes AT&T is the one being screwed, but when the iTunes App Store opens up, and people are downloading the apps for free of of installer instead of the store, Apple loses money.

@shorty63136:

I think the problem is at the moment, that naughty apple customers are getting a better iPhone life than legit customers.

@redrabbit: Apple? trying to control how people use their products?
How strange?

@redrabbit: EXACTLY! You're going to get more people that want to use your product if you make it more universal (while still protecting your $$$) instead of closing people off and micro-managing everything.

I don't understand why Apple would try to stop this. If Apple wants people to use their products to their fullest potential, why won't they give them that option from the start? Now they're trying to stop hackers from making it more enjoyable for the customer?

I don't think AT&T are the ones actually being screwed. I think there are more people using JBing tools to use 3rd party apps (which will be bought from Apple via iTunes) than using it to unlock it and use it on another carrier. Especially since you can't even use it on Verizon. (Don't get me wrong - there's PLENTY of mofos out there who are unlocking their iPhone.)

@jenheta: I second that! Dev Team really needs to keep things under wraps more. Calling the tool Pwnage is a bit of a smack in the face. Apple traditionally doesn't take kindly to that.

I wonder if this battle will be worth it. The iPhone Dev Team should keep their strategy below the radar as Apple might not care much about these hacks (AT&T is the actual screwed one). Announcing and flaming this war may push Apple to do something about it...which is NOT what users need :)

I tried PWNAGE this weekend and it was unsuccessful. I tried about 5 or 6 times to JB M'Iphone. It JB'd it alright, but then I couldn't use the phone function - at ALL.

Found out I had to actually UNLOCK it to let it pick up the AT&T network. Totally not comfortable with that since I'm already on AT&T.

iLibertyX has FAR less steps and only took 3 minutes.

Welcome back, Installer. How I missed thee!

Does this means it supports the iPod touch? @mykalt45: I agree. I think it is devices that have potential not utilized by the manufacturer which get homebrewed
