WinPwn 2.0 adds iPhone 3G support for easier Windows jailbreakage

Posted by Greg Kumparak

While it’s been possible to jailbreak an iPhone 3G for a few days now, the process was a bit too intense for many. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve been told it involves rockets, unicorn hair, and science.

Fortunately, a few amazing geniuses within the iPhone community have gone and made the process just a tad less crazy. Mac users got in on the fun a bit early via iPhone Dev Team’s PwnageTool 2.0.1 - now, a gent going by “cmw” has brought the goods over to Windows, with the release of WinPwn 2.0.

It’s not exactly a one-click process, just yet - while it’s certainly a lot easier, there is always room for unforeseen issues. Tread with caution.

Congratulations and much appreciation/admiration to all involved.
