I reported this as a rumor months ago but now can report that the popular do nothing game Line Rider is officially coming to the iPhone. For those who don’t know, Line Rider has enjoyed a healthy cult following since its introduction to the web several years ago. In its original form the instructions are simple, just draw a line vertically from top left to bottom right, hit the play button and watch a little guy try to ride a sled down your line and fall off the end.
Don’t start counting your chickens yet but it’s being reported that the Apple iPhone team is working on a deal with AT&T that may allow for legitimate tethering on the iPhone 3G.
Of course if you were on your toes you could have created a Wi-Fi hotspot with your iPhone using NetShare, but that app has long since been pulled then returned then pulled again from the Apple App Store and if you don’t have it now you probably won’t get it.
Once again the Dev Team has pulled through with some very important updates to both the Pwnage Tool and QuickPwn. Their latest comes in the form of PwnageTool 2.0.3.1. You can download it here.
Also, QuickPwn Release Candidate 3 has been released. Supposed to be fixed in this release is the issue for 64-bit Windows users and the new version is supposed to work for all Windows versions. Download QuickPwn RC3 here.
If you’ve been having a problem with jailbreaking, these releases should address your issues and as always, as much as we love the dev team we cannot guarantee that they will work properly. Please understand that you will use these programs at your own risk.
When the iPhone 3G and the App Store were released it was not long before some people began questioning whether it was still necessary to jailbreak the phone. The new firmware and App Store now allows users access to Apple’s huge library of applications but the question we ask is why would you not want to jailbreak your iPhone? (more…)
Not glued to the iPhone dev team’s blog? Oh, you are? Oh well, for the rest of you about an hour ago they announced that a GUI version of their latest Windows release, QuickPwn, is ready for you to download. We’ll have some instructions on this very quickly. In the meantime the following is the post from the dev team:
NOTE to jailbreakers: It is not clear at this time what effect this update will have on your jailbreak but it is assumed that it will return your iPhone to it’s previous, unjailbroken, state. Proceed with caution or even better, wait until the DevTeam makes an announcement as to whether their PwnageTool software is compatable with the new update.
We reported earlier that it was in beta testing but today Apple has released the 2.0.2 firmware for the iPhone. As usual, Apple gives us the cryptic explanation of the contents of the update as “Bug Fixes”. While many pray that the update will fix the much blogged about 3G connectivity issues, no confirmation on a fix has been made yet. Steve Jobs is said to have become personally involved with the connectivity problems promising that a software patch will be available “soon” to address the issue. (more…)
Apple is sure keeping guys like the iPhone devteam and their associates as well as all who jailbreak their popular device on their toes. iPhone app developers are reporting that they recieved an email on a new beta version of the iPhone OS. The beta, iPhone OS 2.1 beta 3 is ready for download by developers now and come with the usual cryptic and short description by Apple: (more…)
Last night we got the PwnageTool 2.0.2, today we get WinPwn 2.0.0.4. Both built with support for firmware version 2.0.1 for the iPhone. As with the PwnageTool, the operation of the new version of WinPwn is the same as previous versions however, this release will only support the newest firmware version. If you need help operating WinPwn you are welcome to join in our discussion here.
Update: It finally has been released. Refresh your screen.
After hours of confusion (and outright anger on the part of some) the DevTeam tells us that a previously unknown bug was found that caused them to delay the release of PwnageTool 2.0.2 once again. They had the following to say:
When the iPhone DevTeam stated today “It is Sparkling” the announcement spread confusion around the world with many commenters to their site exclaiming thus. For those who do not know, Sparkle is a piece of software that is designed to simplify updating software for the end user of a program. Sparkle supports checking for updates via appcasting. The DevTeam’s announcement that “It is Sparkling” simply meant that the this program was being used to aid the update. Earlier, we took the statement literally and submitted a post stating that the update was available but since thanks to several keen-eyed observers we were able to make a correction. We are continuing to monitor the update and should have more news soon.

The DevTeam announced that their PwnageTool 2.0.2 will be released at some point today. This article contains information that you really need to know about the new PwnageTool. The following is a guide to some information that you will need to read before PwnageTool 2.0.2 is released.
So it’s been 22 hours now since we recieved the last information from the DevTeam concerning the release of their new PwnageTool 2.0.2. The DevTeam delayed the release of the new jailbreaking tool yesterday when they got word from RipDev that installer.app 4 was ready for release. The DevTeam wanted to make sure that the new installer will be included with the new PwnageTool. We are continuing to monitor this expected release and will bring you updates as they come in.
For once we get a delayed program release that we are happy for. The iPhone devteam announced today that they are delaying the release of PwnageTool 2.0.2 (previously scheduled to be released today). According to their message, the devteam recieved word from RipDev that they had installer.app 4 ready to go. On this word, the devteam decided to include it in their latest PwnageTool, hence the delay.
The iPhone 3G cannot be unlock yet, but at least those of you who waited to update your iPhone to the 2.0.1 firmware are about to get the improved stability and snappy keyboarding reported by early updaters while those who updated early will once again gain access to their jailbroken apps.
When Apple released the iPhone and iPod touch 2.0.1 firmware on Monday, the only thing they told us was that it contained “bug fixes.” Unfortunately, we are finding out that the new firmware may have introduced even more bugs along with those fixes. ifonenation.com first warned potential upgraders about the problems on Monday with a More problems reported with iPhone firmware 2.0.1
