Hacker Develops Jailbreak for iPhone 3GS

Boston (DbTechNo) - The very first iPhone 3GS jailbreak is now available for download thanks to hacker George Hotz.

George Hotz is the same guy who originally unlocked the iPhone, and now he has produced the first jailbreak for the new model, which he has dubbed “purplera1n.”

He is a thorn in the side of Apple, who might as well hire some guy to fix the loophole, giving Hotz the opportunity to find another one.

The program only works with Windows, but not Windows 7, and requires the most up to date version of iTunes.

Hotz stresses on a blog post that for people wanting to take advantage of the jailbreak, that they should remember to back up their data on their phones first.
