George Hotz Jailbreaks iPhone 3GS, ‘purplera1n’

While the iPhone Dev team waits for Apple to release firmware v3.1 before they unveil their iPhone 3G S jailbreak+unlock, George Hotz has gone ahead and released a jailbreak tool for the 3GS.

The jailbreak took is available via http://purplera1n.com/ and works on windows with latest version of iTunes (a mac version is expected soon). This would bring the goodness of Cydia to the 3GS. Also see our list of Cydia Apps working on Firmware 3.0.

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. [geohot]

Update: The Mac version of the tool is also live! Also the latest version purplera1n RC2a is much more stable.
