Those of you who are waiting eagerly for the Dev Team’s all-singing, all-dancing roll-your-own-firmware has been released — kinda. In its present incarnation, it’s still very much for hardcore hackers only, and doesn’t yet play nice with the one-touch hack crowd. It is advised that if you want the so-easy-a-caveman-can-do-it version, give it [...]

We were all expecting it of course, but nobody has been sure when we’d see the first signs of it. Fortunately for us, the Dev Team have shown off a bona fide jailbreak on the iPhone 3G (and by extension, any device running firmware 2.0).
