This is what happens when you put on those handcuffs. They may be nice and shiny, but you lose your freedom just the same.

It's more proper to say, at this point, that Apple has stopped the existing jailbreak program from running with iBoot-359.3.2 which ships in their newest phones. Then again, they supposedly broke the PalmPre iTunes sync with one of their updates and Palm has already gotten around it.

I suspect there will be a new jailbreak eventually. Until then, if you want an iPhone (why, I don't know) and you want to jailbreak it, buy an old one.

It's been a cat & mouse game from day 1 of jailbreaking.

Anyway, it only affects new iPhone 3GS units.. those who've already got a jailbroken iPhone today can still run all the unsigned applications without problem.

@solideogloria: as far as they're concerned, apple has just put the iphone train back on track (back to their control and doing the intended functions).

It's amazing after all the **** that Macfans give Windows about security venerabilities when they cant even keep the walls up in thier own walled garden that lives on such limited hardware. It is only a matter of time before MMS virus start flying around... It's gonna be a m a z i n g.

@matthewcc: um, yeah, it's the same level of vulnerability since jailbreaking an iphone involves putting it into recovery mode, connecting it to your host machine to send the unsigned payload to be ran on it.

Not really something you can do untethered.

It is more around the concept that people like to attack something popular. iPhone may have reached that threshold to attract "Mischief Makers"
