Many of you have been anxious to know whether the upcoming 2.1 firmware would still be jailbreakable. Well, worry no more. After closely examining the 2.1 firmware (seeded to developers earlier this week), the iPhone Dev Team posted today that Pwnage will continue to work on the upcoming firmware and will not break the hack.
Unlike all other jailbreaks (and unlocks for 1G), we believe Pwnage to be fixable only via a hardware revision. So far Pwnage has worked for 1.1.4, all eight (!) 2.0 betas, 2.0 itself, and now 2.1 beta1.Below is a screenshot of a "pwned" first gen iPhone on 2.1 firmware.
