iPhone OS 2.2 hacked by iPhone Dev Team – already!

What’s even better than a new firmware from Apple for the iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch (first generation)?

A new PwnageTool and QuickPwn from the iPhone Dev Team!

Just like Linux sets you free, so too does the PwnageTool and QuickPwn sets both iPhones and first-gen iPod Touch free to run all the software you could poke an iPhone-shaped stick at, while enjoying the fruits of Apple’s App Store labour.

That said, anyone finding an iPhone-shaped stick should really not be pointing it at anything other than eBay, because just like finding Jesus on your toast and then selling it online, an iPhone-shaped stick should really generate worldwide interest, a ton of cash – and who knows? Maybe even a movie deal.

As usual, the Dev Team has posted the details of the latest Pwnificatory pwnifications on its blog, and there are instructions you should follow, especially if you are an iPhone 3G owner that wants to unofficially unlock as soon as the Dev Team releases its magic unlock tool.

You can see the Dev Team’s site at the link above, but part of their post says the following:

1. GOLDEN RULE: If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.

2. Read item 1 again and again.
