iPhone 2.0 Jailbroken before it’s even released?!
Well, this is simply amazing. The iPhone 3G is being released tomorrow at 8am local time across the globe, but early this morning it was noted by the Mac geeks that the software was actually on the Apple servers today and available to download. So, if you feel like doing it manually, you can get the iPhone 2.0 software a full day early and install it on your iPhone 1.0 devices. If you want to wait another few hours, it will automatically show up in your iTunes (v7.7 is required and is currently available here).

I’ve installed the 2.0 software, which worked without a hitch. The upgrade does restore and reset the phone, so be sure to backup your data before performing the upgrade. My phone is all restored and reactivated and now I’m copying my music and videos and NEW APPS over to my iPhone.
But that’s not all… This is according to Gizmodo, but apparantly the iPhone 2.0 is jailbroken already before the software is even released into the wild. It only took the iPhone Dev Team a few hours to do the same job that took them months just a year ago. This is totally crazy.

I’ll post some more once I finish the upgrade and restore of my phone and really get to play with my new apps and the new software.
On this day…
