The 3G iPhone isn't even out until tomorrow, but the iPhone Dev Team is on the ball: they've already unlocked the 2.0 firmware . The updated Pwnage tool hasn't been released quite yet, but according to Gizmodo, the iPhone they've been running in all the videos you've seen of them test-driving the new App Store is jailbroken. And it seems to run just fine alongside the new App Store. This is very encouraging--while I support the idea of commercially-developed, easily-installable software via the App Store, the official SDK passed to these developers came with some hefty restrictions that limit the kind of functionality on offer from App-Store-distributed software. Now consumers can have a much wider choice of free third-party apps with extra functionality. Look for the Pwnage tool (and, hopefully, a new Ziphone update as well) to be out very soon. --Aric A . ...
