2.2 Firmware Jailbreak Released

  Exciting News! Just under a day after the 2.2 firmware was released, the iPhone Dev Team gave word that the new firmware can now be jailbroken. But as previously reported, the ability to jailbreak while using firmware 2.2 on the new MacBooks encounters a problem when in DFU mode, proving previous rumors to be true. So if you have a new MacBook/air/pro, the Dev Team reports that you might have problems.

The ‘late 2008’ MacBook/air/pro line of computers have an issue with DFU mode. While it’s possible to go from Pwned 2.1 -> Pwned 2.2 (using PwnageTool), you can’t yet go from stock to pwned. If in any doubt use a different machine.

A complete list of instructions that walk you through the entire process is laid out step by step on The Dev Team's website.
