***Update***  

Looks like the windows version of quickpwn is out.  We did it on our brand new iPhone 3G 16 GB… all we can say is nice!  Worked like a charm.  Let us know your results in the comments! P.S.  Anyone who has news about Customize.app — please share.

***End Update***

Remember what we said about iTunes 8 would need a patch to allow pwange?  Well, it seems that we — The Dev Team as well — were wrong but thankfully!  iTunes 8 no longer requires a hack to install the custom ipsw that you create with the Pwnage Tool.  You can now use the newest versions of QuickPwn and Pwnage Tool to their full capacities with iPhone Software 2.1 — note to early adopters: it is still NOT available for iPod Touch 2nd generation.  All iPhones and 1st generation iPod Touches can be pwned.  Click here for the full release from the Dev Team.  The downloads are available via Torrent infrastructure for now.  If you don’t know how to use torrents, just hold off for a bit, they’ll have direct links on their website soon. 

At this point, it is only available for Mac OS X but other platforms, i.e. windows, will be out later.  Personally, we give props to the Dev Team for doing the Mac side first with this one.  We got tired of waiting for QuickPwn Mac when it was available for PC.  We’re not biased… really.  We just own macs.

FYI, there are some blogs that are actually criticizing the Dev Team, asking if it’s still relevant.  Wow.  Good work on that one Engadget.  You actually pissed off the Dev Team.  Of course it’s relevant… can anyone say “Unlock?”  Morons.
