iPhone Hacking: Can’t we just all get along?

OMFG the children over at the iphone dev team have released a working unlocker for the iphone 2.0 firmware. Looks like it actually patches the official apple firmware 2.0 image before doing the upgrade (or restore) - clincher is that you need to have already ‘pwned’ the device (using winpwn or pwnagetool if you’re on a mac). Mac users get the hack for almost no effort, while windows users have to jump through a whole bunch of extra hoops to get it working.
I previously used ZiPhone to unlock my 1.1.4 phone, which worked great - but doesn’t look like the famous Mr Zibri will be releasing a ZiPhone 2.0 - looks like he’s a bit of a sulker! A recent iphone dev team rant lands a couple of massive blows, look forward to the cryptic response!
“And as to his most recent update, I’m not really sure what to say. I’d call it the swan song, but that would imply he was a swan, which is certainly not my intention. Maybe the chicken song would be more appropriate. ZiPhone was “developed” 9 months after the iPhone release, so he’s justifying his lack of releases now, okay. Once again he pushes the “real hack” idea, which we hope we’ve already pounded sufficiently into the ground above. We’re not sure how the fact that we were so popular it took down multiple unmetered gigabit servers is a point in his favor. We’ve had close to a third of his total visits since last week.”-pumpkin (iphone dev team)My prediction is things are gonna get nasty! Looking forward to the next episode?
So anyways, I think it’s time I did the upgrade - I’m busy getting all the pieces of the puzzle together, I’ll keep you updated :)
