iPhone OS 2.0 Expected To Leak Shortly
March 26th, 2008
The latest iPhone OS 1.2 (dubbed 2.0) is currently only available to accepted members of the official iPhone development program, installation of the beta 1.2 OS is only possible via a a special signature from Apple.
However, it is rumoured that an undergroup group have discovered a method of bypassing this special digital signal and installing a modified edition of OS 1.2 through the use of a tool named “Pwnage”which is used to leverage an exploit found in the lower levels of the iPhone/iPod Touch bootloader.
The bootloader exploit will allow those devices to run unsigned code, allowing Pwnage to modify the iPhone OS 1.2 IPSW (installation file), pre-activating and pre-jailbreaking it.

Yeah, it’s right. There’s a leak of 2.0 out already, too. If you look around on torrent sites, one torrent sports both 2.0 for iPod and iPhone. It’s not a healthy torrent at the moment, though.
