The Dev Team released PWNAGE Tool 2.0.3 yesterday for creating custom 2.0.2 firmware files for your iPhone and iPod Touch and a new QuickPWN for quick and easy Jialbreaking of your device. Their release was not without hiccups as there were many users (including myself), having trouble with permissions, passwods not being saved and Cydia not installing apps. I was able to find a couple solutions to the problems and posted them in the forum.
The Dev Team have since announced that they will be releasing an Update to PWNAGE Tool 2.0.3 sometime soon that will be delivered via the a sparkle update in PWNAGE.
We’ve had some issues with iPod touch devices and the latest version of PwnageTool for the Mac, in certain conditions incorrect permissions will be used and the keychain doesn’t save passwords. So hold on and wait for the next release, we’ll push out the updated version via Sparkle as soon as it is tested (it is being tested right now). We have also encountered some issues with the Windows Beta of QuickPwn, and we have a release candidate here that should fix the issues seen with 64-bit Windows versions and should be able to be used with all versions of Windows, but as with all beta software other bugs may be present. 5 hours ago
There were also some users who reported problems with QuickPWN and the Dev Team have released an updated version called
QuickPWN RC2 that should fix these problems.

PwnageTool 2.0.3 is now available either as a update in PWNAGE (courtesy Sparkle) on your Mac or you can download it directly from here. (Dev Team Server Link)
This new version of PwnageTool supports iPhone/iPod firmware 2.0.2 5C1. It also comes with a new updated Installer Beta vb6 and Cydia of course. The application must be downloaded as a .tbz file from the Dev Team Servers (above) and must NOT be decompressed using “the unarchiver”, use OS X’s built in ‘Archive Utility’ to decompress the file.
PWNAGE Tool 2.03 will create a custom iPhone/Touch firmware that you can choose to Jailbreak and Activate your device, install Cydia and/or Installer.app and run BootNeuter to unlock your First Gen iPhone on firmware 2.0.2 build 5C1. Unfortunately it will NOT unlock your/my iPhone 3G baseband, but it will jailbreak it and allow you to run great apps like Cycorder and Winterboard.
Update 2 - I have added some fixes for some errors with cydia and passwords in the forum please check here
Update: I am having problems with passwords being saved for email, wifi and other things. I will try to chenge permissions of var/keychain to 0777 and see if that helps.

Update:
The iPhone Dev Team have released an update with a new version of PWNAGE Tool 2.0.3 for iPhone firmware 2.0.2 on iPhones and iPod Touch. This version of PwnageTool 2.0.3 will create a custom iPhone firmware that is unlocked that will be bundled with Cydia and/or Installer for the iPhone. This will NOT unlock the iPhone 3G, it will jailbreak and Activate the iPhone 3G. It will also jailbreak the iPod Touch.
PwnageTool 2.0.3 is now available as a Sparkle update, or a direct download here. This version provides support for iPhone/iPod firmware 2.0.2 5C1, it has an updated Installer.app beta (b6) and contains a new .de localization for our large amount of German friends. The application SHOULD ONLY be downloaded as a .tbz file from our servers and should NOT be decompressed using the very broken application called “the unarchiver” stick to the standard OS X built in ‘Archive Utility’ to decompress. The SHA1 sum of PwnageTool_2.0.3.tbz is 91e670e0c623cd43f5e8cfbfaae6c23d98d8f31b
Also released today is the ‘150’ beta update to the Windows QuickPwn application, this contains a revised GUI from Poorlad that has tighter integration into the the main updated QuickPwn executable and provides fixes for YouTube and provides BootNeuter support for the unlock of 2G iPhones, remember this is still beta software, use at your own risk. The updated tool is available for download here.
NB: QuickPwn Windows doesn’t work well with virtualization as there are some problems with the way USB resets are handled, so we wouldn’t advise trying it, we have had reports of some success with VMWare Fusion 2.0 Beta 2, but this shouldn’t be relied on, use PwnageTool instead, or wait for QuickPwn Mac.
QuickPwn for Mac is being tested right now by a group of testers and we’ll release this when it is ready for public beta (this won’t be within the next 24 hours, but should be within the next week).
There are no significant updates with regard to the 3G baseband unlock, most of us have been busy with real life, when we get any further we’ll let you know.

The developers at iControlPad have posted some updates to their site since TouchArcade originally wrote about them back in May. For those who don’t remember, iControlPad is hoping to deliver an under $30 gaming control pad for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The latest prototype casing is shown here:
They say the color and texture will be glossy and smooth in the final production model. Here is a link to an old prototype video

OpenClip is/was an open framework for implementing the Cocoa NSPasteboard functionality to the iPhone. OpenClip was an effort to work around the limitations of OS X on the iPhone by allowing apps to read/write between each other. Apple is disabling that feature in future firmwares.
Herr Gruber pointed out that OpenClip used a loophole that allowed applications to read the sandboxes of other apps, allowing them to share data. However this seems to be a violation of the Terms of Use of Apples SDK. The upcoming firmware 2.1 will not allow that.
Apps that use OpenClip will no longer be able to copy and paste between applications. However, applications can still utilize a persistent way to store data inside the application, meaning that copy and paste within the app will still work fine. And on top of that, apps that utilize only one form (either copy or paste) can disable interface elements when Apple axes OpenClip.
OpenClip was never supposed to be a longterm solution, but rather an example of how easy it could be done. A sort of “In your face” move to Apple. Let’s hope that Apple realizes how easy it was to implement and use and will make this framework available to developers and native apps in the iPhone OS.
