It is available on jailbroken devices http://www.iphone-hacks.com/tag/mame/

OS X has yet to be owned remotely. Correct me if I'm wrong here, I'd like to heat about it.

You are wrong.

The original jailbreaking of the iPhone was based on a tiff handling vulnerability in the Safari browser - this could be exploited remotely until the hole was fixed, simply by visiting a website.

I would be surprised if there are not more holes in the Safari browser which ships with the iPhone (and its desktop equivalent), indeed I've read about a few more since (can't be bothered to look them all up just now) and expect to see the iPhone compromised.

Here's another more recent which could be costly by calling unknown numbers :

Or another, allowing access to data :

Now OS X has been less vulnerable to worms spreading automatically compared to Windows historically (not so much compared to Vistia), has some good security policies in place like the lack of services on by default, firewall and a sane use of password dialogs, but that doesn't make it immune. Apple has not been as vigilant or communicative in this area as they should be.

I have no problem with Apple doing this to make a cool effect. I wonder if it will be the same in iPhone 2.1

Here is a review of the iPhone version "Spore Origins" if anyone is interested. http://www.iphone-hacks.com/2008/09/09/spore-origins-for-the-iphone-reviewed/

PwnageTool 2.0 for the iPhone has been released!!!

While this is a little off topic it does still deal with an AT&T 3G phone. iPhone Dev Team's PwnageTool 2.0 has been released to the public.

This is the model I would get then head over to 3G iPhone Unlock and unlock it!

Well, certainly no way that will net you better results and more accurate information, no. But a quick Google search garners a few ad-ridden possibilities, such as http://www.iphone-hacks.com/. However, I'd recommend you buck up and start digging through the dev forums.

The iPhone was actually hacked first by some people in the Czech Republic who run the site bladox.com. It requires one of their "Tubo Sim" products to do but is much less complex than this hack which followed shortly after. You can check out the timeline of these events at iPhone-Hacks.com.
