The kooky hacking kids over at IRC channel #iphone claim to have gained full ownership of the iPhone filesystem. In an update titled "How to Escape Jail," they highlight the technical steps required to enable custom ringtones, wallpapers and more for your iPhone. They have not released a tool for general consumption -- yet -- but do provide the picture above as evidence of their hacking skillz.
Steve must have known this was going to happen. No?
I have to tell ya I'm a Windows man but that screen on the iPhone is tits.
It was going to happen eventually. Now lets see what comes out of this.
Funny thing is that if you go to #iPhone channel, there's a user named "AppleLegal" -- most probably really from Apple Legal.
On a related note, Horny16yo is currently on #Teensex... That's all you!
It's funny to see Apple products getting the hacker's attention that Windows has had for so many years.
How long before security issues are not just Windows based but also Apple???
I'll stick with my BB Curve for now.
T-Mobile is the BEST!
I hacked my Dashboard with my iPhone. Check out the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En0Uxgy4wgg
