I've got a pretty shocking post over at the internet saying that the iPhone Dev Team have successfully jailbroke the new OS before it is released

If Apple's sat back and let the iPhone hacking community do its thing in peace (well, relative peace) so far, this little gem just might be what the doctor ordered to stir up the crap. Crackulous - available now in beta form through Cydia - claims to be able to strip the protection off most apps downloaded from the App Store, meaning that just a single user needs to take the plunge and buy a target app once to get it busted and into free circulation.

Apple has reportedly begun shipping iPhone 3GS units with a new bootrom, which might help combat hacks enabling installation of unauthorized software. However, iPhone hackers say Apple's new firmware only causes a temporary inconvenience for jailbroken devices, and the handset is still hackable.
