Well as expected just after two weeks of launch of the new apple iPhone 3G S its jailbreaking software has now been released ,application dubbed as purplera1n. This is the first jailbreaking utility released (for the iPhone 3G S) till now and it is released by the same person geohot aka George Francis Hotz who unlocked the first iPhone.
Despite the fact that the iPhone development teams refused to jailbreak the iPhone 3G S until iPhone OS 3.1 gets out ,this cool dude came up from nowhere to release this jailbreak. He writes on his blog that “Normally I don’t make tools for the general public, and rather wait for the dev team to do it. But guys, whats up with waiting until 3.1? That isn’t how the game is played. We release, Apple fixes, we find new holes”
