Now that Apple has released iPhone OS 3.0, The Dev-Team can now release the jailbrake for the new firmware. There is Jailbrakealready a jailbrake for the beta’s of the new firmware but it’s not advised you use it, as it could have cause some problems.

The release is said to be shortly after the release of the firmware so keep your eyes on here and I will post when it’s been released with download links.

Just a note to those who jailbrake not all the Cydia/Icy app’s will work on 3.0 yet so don’t expect all of them to work straight away.

Also on friday, the Dev-Team will be releasing ultrasn0w which will allow you to unlock the new firmware.

iPhone Idea: Audio Surf iPhone

Audio Surf is a Windows game that makes completely unique levels for the user. Using music on the players computer it analyzes it and creates the track accordingly giving it endless possibilities. It would however only work using iPhone OS 3.0 as it would need access to the users iPod Music and using the improved graphics chip, could give some amazing graphics.

To control the game you would tilt the device, using the accelerometer to control the ship. You could challenge friends using the notification system and submit scores to online leadboards. This game would work great on the new iPhone OS, just hope someone makes it.

Jailbrakers Should Wait To Install iPhone OS 3.0

JailbrakeAs a jailbraker myself, although upgrading to iPhone OS 3.0 on Wenesday might seem like a great thing to do just wait until the Dev-Team have sorted out a jailbrake even though I doubt it will be long as they have a jailbrake for the Beta firmware.

Best idea is wait till the Dev-Team have released the jailbrake and then update to the new iTunes and install the new firmware.

iPhone 3G S Firmware is Already Available

iPhone OS 3.0 Software Update

The new 3.0 firmware for the new iPhone 3G S, due for release on the 19th June, has already been put up on the Apple servers for download.

The download is avliable at: iPhone2, 1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw but for now it’s useless as it can only be installed on the iPhone 3G S.

However if we look at the name iPhone2,1 it leads me to believe maybe a new iPhone is being planned. As some hackers have found references to iPhone3,1 in the firmware so whats being planned Apple?

New iPhone To Have iChat? [Updated: Fake]

iSpazio are showing pictures of the rumoured new iPhone Video using an iChat App.

iPhone iChat 1

This shows the frontal camera being used in what appears to be the Camera App showing the interface that has been leaked out by developers who found it in the new iPhone OS 3.0.

iPhone iChat 2

This shows a somewhat blurry picture of the new iPhone in a video call, it looks similar to video calling on other devices with a small image of you in the corner and them in the main screen similar to iChat.

This seems quite authentic as previous leaks have shown a frontal camera and that’s mainly what a frontal camera is used for.

Update:  Gizmondo have done a side by side comparison of the leaked image and Skype and they match perfectly, however there still is a possibility of a frontal facing camera.
