September 09, 08 by DougWindows users can now Jailbreak their 2.1 firmware.
Click for details on WinPwn 2.1 for Windows.
Update – The iPhone Dev Team has released the PwnageTool 2.1 and QuickPwn 1.1(for Mac users only).

Is it ok to upgrade iTunes to 8.0 or will this screw up my jailbreak?
Doug Says: 10.09.08 at 2:05 am
iTunes itself won’t mess anything up with a jailbroken device(like shut it down).

has anyone actualy backed up their iphone or ipot? becuase mine takes like 20 minutes and the bar only moves about half a cm.

The new iTunes 8.0 is supposed to fix that and make backing up alot faster.

I haven’t had any issues with syncing or backing up(both are quicker). . .and no ALOD(apple logo of death) so far!

So if I upgrade to a jailbroken 2.1 iphone (edge), will i not be able to use my jailbroken applications?

I have a quesiton, I been using my iphone for ages and I recently got the 3g, I never thought about jailbreaking it since I was happy with the device and I wanted to wait for the apple updaed for mms, copy/paste, etc..but these updates never came and I don’t think apple will ever implement these nice apps …anyways, since I’m happy with ATT, I guess I only need the jailbreak and not unlock it, right? now is it safe to jailbreak your iphone and keep connecting to itunes for updates and other things?? I don’t want t lose my data or I don’t want my iphone to shut down or lock on me!!
