iPhone Dev-Team are onto something - PWNED 2.0 soon?

By Aaron Besson at 7 July, 2008, 11:09 am

With only four days left until the iPhone 3G, the OSX iPhone 2.0 Firmware is released and the grand opening of the AppStore for the iPhone and iPod Touch, the trusty Dev-Team are onto something - and it looks like something BIG.

There is allot of speculation about a post titled “Oh My” that featured a simple graphic that appeared on their “unofficial/official blog” with the words “Click here for iPhone™ - Our compilers are working overtime…”.

With no official/unofficial explanation of what this graphic is, or where it comes from, rumors, dreams and wishes are starting to get the rumor mill going again, and a quick glance at the comments quickly show you what people are thinking. But the dev’s have also dropped a few hints in the mix as well:

“Hah well let’s just say that this particular post was done (a) *with* team consent; and (b) by someone who *knew* what they were talking about :)”

“We were still in the process of verifying whether Apple could do anything to change the ramdisk encryption key, or otherwise denying us this access method in the future. Instead of waiting for that to complete, Zibri unilaterally released the key on his blog without checking it with anyone else. After he posted on the blog, the rest of us were publicly silent because we were still frantically trying to determine what to do with a loose cannon like him. You know how that story ended.

This being on the team’s blog and doesn’t leak anything, I think this is much better. ;)”

Well obviously by these two comments from those in the know clearly suggest that they are making some progress. Sounds to me like they have gotten a hold of the ramdisk of the OSX iPhone 2.0 Gold Master Firmware, and are compiling PMNED 2.0 to allow us plebs to create unlocked and activated custom 2.0 Firmwares. Maybe (hopefully) they have gotten a hold of a iPhone 3G? An unlock for the iPhone 3G on the same day it is sold would be mind blowing, and I am sure to probably make Steve age 10 years in a few hours.

Now I may be getting ahead of myself, but the Dev-Team doesn’t usually post anything until they are sure they will deliver something in the near future. Because they know all too well that allot of people are watching them closely and waiting for a solution to Jailbreak/Activate and Unlock OSX iPhone 2.0 and hopefully the iPhone 3G as well.

Where ever that graphic comes from, whether it be from some part of iTunes Activation of the iPhoen 3G and OSX iPhone 2.0, or if it’s part of the new interface for PWNED 2.0 to create custom unlocked iPhone firmwares, only the Dev-Team can elude to right now. in the mean while, try and distract yourself with your life until the 11th of July (that goes for me too).

UPDATE: It’s a bird?
