Probably the same dork who proclaimed it "official."

Ok TUAW, the image of an iPhone with this post is WAY too misleading and should be changed.

k thx bai

I downloaded the jailbreak, but I can only find a QuickPwn.exe! Is there a version out for Mac yet?

Apps now display on the iPhone screen in itunes as green items on the bar. Is that new to itunes 8 or 2.1 on the iPhone?

This isn't official quickpwn, but I did it with my iPod (worst case, I just have to restore. Oh well) and it works great. I'm running 2.1, have cydia and installer. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Jason: I have had two iPhones jailbroken, and unlocked (using T-Mobile) for a year now. I have never had a single problem.

I know not what "horror stories" you speak of. We started with iPhone 1.0.x and updated to 1.1.x then to 2.0.x. Never had a problem.

quickpwn.com is not the official site - winpwn.com is. This appears to be an unofficial hack, which may or may not actually work.

OK, TUAW, you got me. I read 2.1 jailbroken, and got all excited. But I guess it's a very good sign that they've got the iPod done so quickly. I can wait.

Is it done yet? ;-)

I mostly need tethering, but video is nice too.

I've heard WAY too many horror stories about jailbreaking nightmares. Even if the forthcoming iPhone pwnage tool doesn't brick the phone, the concensus seems to be that it becomes much less stable. Although I would LOVE video recording capabilities (and really little else jailbreaking would bring), I'm not willing to put up with the inconveniences jailbreaking would bring. Good luck to all of you who decide to brave those waters, though.
