iPhone 3GS Finally Hacked

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the almost-like-consumers-don't-like-being-dictated-to dept.

Well, the inevitable hacking of Apple's latest flavor of iPhone has happened. Named "purplera1n," the tool will only allow installation of unauthorized applications instead of a full unlock. "The purplera1n jailbreak will free your iPhone from the limitations imposed on it by AT&T and Apple. After jailbreaking, a user will be able to customize the iPhone with home-screen wallpapers and third-party ringtones. But the biggest advantage of jailbreaking is the support of unapproved apps such as iBlackList (blacklists and whitelists for contacts) and many others."

    It's amusing you bring that up. Why isn't apple getting into deep shit with the DOJ for antitrust practices? Microsoft included IE with windows forever and they got in a lot of hot water over it - just imagine if they had FORCED users to use IE.
