Found on CNet News on Thursday, 02 July 2009
George Hotz, who you may recall as the teenage hacker who originally unlocked the iPhone, has let loose a jailbreaking app for the iPhone 3GS code named purplera1n.
Holtz notes that he normally doesn't make tools for the general public and wouldn't rather wait for the iPhone dev team to do that.
John Biggs over at CrunchGear is among those who have already given already given purplera1n a go and declares the jailbreaking process "amazingly simple."
I never understood the despotism Apple tries to keep over their customers. Just give them the hardware and let the market do the rest. Nobody would buy a computer that can only run applications which are brown nosing its manufacturer.
