Today the iPhone Dev Team released new information that will be a blessing to the ears of all iphone users especially the ones that have the iphone unlocked. A new version of Quickpwn will be available to jailbreak the iphone as well as a new version of Yellowsn0w named Ultrasn0w which will allow you to unlock the iphone once it is upgraded to version 3.0.
This will all be released by Friday June 19 2009 which coincidently is the day the iphone 3Gs is being released. For you guys that want to upgrade to version 3.0 you will be able to jailbreak it and unlock it. According to the information the unlocking will only work on 3G iphones and not 3Gs. That might change when the software is released.
The quickpwn software will work on all devices, iPod Touch, iPod Touch 2, iPhone first generation, and 3G iphone. Not sure if it will work on the 3Gs, the current information is that the 3Gs cannot jailbroken for now or unlocked. But as we all know, nothing is impossible.
Check out the video below which has information about the new Ultrasn0w. I will be updating this post with the links to download the Quickpwn program as soon as it is released. Start the video at about 2 minutes which is when the information starts.
