The iPhone Dev team finally released the 2.0 incarnation of their wellknown iPhone activation/jailbreak/unlocking tool.

Currently only available as a mac binary it allows users to do the following:

• iPhone (1st Gen) with 2.0 – Activated, Unlocked & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).
• iPod Touch with 2.0 – Activated & Jailbroken, (with support for third party applications).
• iPhone (3G) with 2.0 – Activated, Jailbroken (with  support for third party applications).

There is currently no 2.0 capable version of the Nullriver/RipDev Installer.app to install additional 3rd party applications but there is Cydia which allows that in a different approach.

If you are unable to edit your EDGE APN settings (e.g. you are on a legit iPhone carrier but with a nonlegit mobile data plan) you cannot just install some hack via your installer/cydia. There is just no such hack available yet.

You can work around this by downloading the official Apple iPhone configuration utility and create a profile attachment that contains your APN settings and mail this profile to your phone (and then execute that attachment). This will change your APN settings to those in the profile.

Almost forgot to post that — via wordpress.org:

I’m thrilled to announce that Version 2.3 “Dexter” of WordPress is now ready for the world. This release includes native tagging support, plugin update notification, URL handling improvements, and much more. This release is named for the great tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon.

The entire team is really proud of this release, and I’m happy that this is our second on-time release under our new development schedule. The grand experiment of a more agile WordPress with significant features in the hands of users more often is working. I could write a blog post about each new feature, but I’ll try to be brief: Read the rest of this entry »
