It’s been possible to jailbreak an iPod touch 2G for a while, but the methods for doing so have been fairly complex, and not for the faint of heart. The redsn0w beta has just been released for Windows, Linux and OS X, which makes the process easier than ever.
Anyone who has needed to show a group of people what’s on the screen of an iPhone, or create a demonstration video of an iPhone app, will know that it’s tricky business. DemoGod is a new application for OS X that makes it far less tricky.
A Russian hacker named Vortex, who is in no way involved with iPhone jailbreaking pioneers Dev Team, has released a jailbreak for iPhone OS 3.0 beta 2 – but we suggest you don’t go ahead with it for now if you intend on using yellowsn0w, Dev Team’s software-based carrier unlock, with OS 3.0.
