Taken from The Register:

'Hacker springs latest iPhone OS from Jobsian jail
Mac users need not apply


Posted in Mobile, 12th October 2009 18:39 GMT

Free whitepaper Get application aware with your Cisco network devices

One of the world's foremost iPhone hackers has just released software for jailbreaking the latest firmware released for the Apple smartphone.

Geohot's Blackra1n lets Windows users jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.2 on all iPhone and iPod Touch models regardless of their hardware generation. The tool, which in 30 seconds allows handset users to run software not authorized by Apple, doesn't work on Macs. Those users will have to continue using an older version of the firmware.

This weekend's release by Geohot, the hacker whose real name is George Hotz, continues the race among iPhone users providing ways to get around the artificial restrictions Apple places on the popular smartphone. The other leading contender has been the Pwnage Tool, designed by the iPhone Dev Team. At time of writing, that group was still warning iPhone users to hold off installing the latest iPhone OS.

But unlike the Pwnage Tool, Blackra1n can't be used to unlock iPhones so they work on unauthorized cellular networks. If you've already unlocked your phone, don't use Blackra1n on it. If you do, your device will be jailbroken but won't work with unauthorized carriers.

Unofficial reports from iPhone users suggest Blackra1n works as advertised. For successful results, users will have to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes. From there, plug the iPhone or iPod Touch using the standard USB cable and follow the directions and the device should be sprung from the Apple-imposed lock-down in about half a minute.

Geohot was the first hacker to jailbreak the iPhone shortly after its official debut in mid 2007. He was also among the first to jailbreak the iPhone GS model.'

Well you guys, I have to admit, every time I use this Android powered monster of an HTC dream, I fall in love with it even more.
I love the easy way of customisation, I love the ease of use, I love the speed, I love everything.
If any one of you are considering a new phone, no matter what brand, I would reconmend taking the Android powered one.
As far as i can tell, the phone has on average about 30MB of free ram, when that gets down to 16MB (which is not easy) it starts closing unused background apps. Even with less than 20MB of free ram, this phone is not lagging.
In the 2 weeks I had it, I cant remember it lagging once.
Go Android!



I'm using an app called Battery Extender on the e90 which does just that, closes background apps, decreases the screen-saver's timeout period, reduces screen brightness, etc. Damned handy too.
