Every now and then we all STUMBLE on a blog that simply provides exceptional content and in depth information. I myself have read thousands of blogs, there’s a lot of crappy ones out there, but a great number of good ones as well. Writing a blog post is very easy, anybody who has fingers can pretty much post about anything and everything one can possibly imagine. To me a quality blog post is one that provides unbiased information, well written, and keeps me interested in the subject matter.

NOTE: This will not work with iPhone 3G..at least not as of yet.
Notes from the WINPWN Page:
- You MUST do a full uninstall of winpwn before installing the new version
- Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes ( Currently 7.7)
- WinPwn uses 300MB of ram at peak due to the ipsw being extracted in memory
- You must first click browse and load an IPSW to use WinPwn (i thought this was clear)
- For 2.0 only the *5A347_Restore.ipsw files are valid. The 345 image will not work
- If you see Failed to load image catalog/payload catalog, this is fine and won’t cause problems
- If you already have service with AT&T do not activate or install Youtube Fix
I’ve been dreading upgrading my iPhone firmware because the last update I performed rendered my phone useless for about 3 days, luckily I was able to resurrect it after working on it straight for 72 hours. Since that day I vowed to never attempt another firmware update.
Well along comes firmware 2.0
This firmware is unlike any of the previous firmware releases, which is more than enough reason for me to try and see what the fuss is all about. I knew there was a possibility that I can brick my iPhone forever but I’m a risk taker so I went ahead and updated from firmware 1.1.1 to firmware 2.0 and guess what? The upgrade was flawless using WINPWN.

My 11 year old son snapped these pics, to my amazement they came out rather interesting. Kinda reminds me of those light graffiti you see on the commercials. You really can’t tell these are fireworks, but I do love the abstract effect…the best part is we had no idea it would turn out like this.

The good news is iPhone 3G will be available on July 11, the bad news is Apple Stores will require you to sign a 2 year contract before you can walk out with an iPhone. This is a bold move by Apple who has been fighting a losing battle with hackers ever since the first iPhone came out. Is there a way around this? Only time will tell.
The new version of the iPhone harnesses the power of AT&T’s broad and powerful 3G mobile broadband network, which offers 3G mobile phones download speeds of up to 1.4 Mbps.
Key Device Features:
Operates on Wi-Fi, EDGE, and 3G networks
New enterprise e-mail capability with support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
New iPhone software development kit (SDK) to support new innovative applications
Note: 2G iPhone customers will be able to download the iPhone 2.0 software from iTunes which enables new features such as access to corporate e-mail via Microsoft ActiveSync.
New Activation Process and BRE:
The iPhone 3G will be activated at point of sale when the device is purchased, in store. The BRE period will change from 14 days to 30 days and will require the device to be returned to place of purchase before service is cancelled.
Pricing and Plans
Device Pricing:
$199 8GB and $299 16GB for new activations and qualified upgrades with 2-year agreement.
