2.0 debuts, waiting on jailbreak
With Apple's release of iTunes 7.7 and the new 2.0 firmware for iPod touch and iPhone, everything seems to be running a day early. Over at hacker central, the iPhone dev team guys are still in wait mode.
For those of you looking for a glimpse of hackage to come, they've posted a number of screen shots, showing all kinds of nifty Apple-unapproved applications.

Just wanted to add my name to the list of those who've successfully installed this over a jailbroken unlocked 1.1.4 and now have a fully-functional iPhone 2, working on a non-iPhone O2 contract. Result!

July 10 2008 at 3:03 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWhy are you speaking of jailbreaking like it's a bad thing?
July 10 2008 at 4:37 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyGive me free, open-source apps on my jailbroken phone over the "App Store" any day.
July 10 2008 at 2:31 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyMy goal: to have both options available.

It Debuts when when anyone can plug in their iPod or iPhone and iTunes says "2.0 is the latest version"... it doesn't, so it's not out yet.
Also, THIS is completely misleading...
"With Apple's release of iTunes 7.7 and the new 2.0 firmware for iPod touch and iPhone"
the firmware linked to in the article is for iPhone ONLY.
You're honestly doubting that someone will jailbreak a 3G iPhone? I mean come on someone will do it, within a few days I suspect. maybe you should "zinkdifferent" and no doubt some incredibly talented people who are doing these things with only donations.
July 10 2008 at 1:31 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIs it just me, or does 2.0 seem a bit sluggish?
July 10 2008 at 1:25 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyIt seems sluggish for me too...
July 10 2008 at 2:34 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyErica Sadun is the worst thing that has ever happened to TUAW. She completely ruined this site, with useless posts and iPhone mania galore.
This madness must end.
wtf!? Why all the hate people?!
If you can't say anything nice....
Jailbreak is nice, for those that love their iPhones to crash, freeze, and break
Funny, because I have 3 pages full of these "crappy" apps, on a jailbroken iPod... and it hasn't crashed, frozen or broken since I jailbroke it back in Feb.
Some people would like to have their phone unlocked.
July 10 2008 at 1:58 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWhile there is a certain entertainment value to reading TUAW and spotting the assorted errors, it is unprofessional and irresponsible that the bloggers don't have the common sense to acknowledge their errors and add a correction. Rather they routinely leave up erroneous information to confuse and annoy readers. Erica, who presumably would like to retain some modicum of credibility in the Mac world, would do well to fact check before posting (iPhone 2 Debuts???).
