My buddy Joel Evans from Geek.com and I both waited in line for the original iPhone in 2007, but this year Joel jumped on the new iPhone 3G at launch while I waited 3 weeks. Actually, it was his positive experiences with the iPhone 3G that tipped me over the edge to go get one at my local Apple store.

The latest and greatest jailbreak tool has been released and it supports iPhone OS 3.1 on the 3GS hardware. Before you get too excited, keep in mind it will only work if you've already jailbroken your iPhone 3GS when it was running 3.0 or 3.0.1 firmware.

The iPhone hacking faithful can now unlock and jailbreak their original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPod Touch 1G devices with the much-awaited PwnageTool 3.1. Unfortunately, the hacking tool does not yet support the iPhone 3GS or the new iPod Touch, but an update is expected soon.

Residents of Vermont, USA, should be quite happy: ever since the launch of the original iPhone they were anxiously waiting for the launch of the iconic device, and now they will finally get it: AT&T has officially announced that it will launch the iPhone 3G at company-owned retail stores in Vermont.

iPhone version 4.0 is official! It's got all the goodies, multi-tasking, background GPS, background audio streaming (Pandora), background VOIP calls and even iBooks (thanks iPad). Apple has announced the upgrade but won't make it available to all the iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch 3rd Gen users out there until sometime this summer. iPad will get the update in the Fall. Original iPhone and iPhone 3G users along with iPod Touch 1st/2nd Gen will get some features but not the multitasking (booooo). That's too bad for owners of older hardware but Apple has to cut them loose at some point to move forward.

In a move that makes the iPhone 3G more accessible, users can now buy it online activate it at home via iTunes.

If you're upgrading, downgrading, or modifying your iPhone's firmware, you will obviously need to find the proper firmware that you're looking for. Below is a list of all currently available firmware versions for both the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G.

While we at TechRadar are cramming our faces with Christmas fun, the rumour mill seems unwilling to stop turning, and it seems the old stalwart, Apple, is again after the headlines with the iPhone Nano popping up once more.

Google's OS is available on a variety of handsets, and those handsets are often much cheaper than an iPhone.
