"A new website has been found called YiPhone.org. The page shows a counter and a picture of George Hotz who we know from the first public iPhone hack.

The funny part is that GeoHot takes Ziphone's picture but has added his face onto it. Is GEOHOT going to release a Firmware 2.0 capable yiphone in a couple of hours? We will soon find out."

hmmmm... looks like GeoHot is in for another media mania...

[hexinary]

If you will look at iphone dev team official blog http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ they say there that one of their team members leaked out the exploit to geohot that is why they are releasing the pwnagetool 2.0 "not a moment later".... so it is just a matter of hours or even minutes.. =)

[ice_man]

yep, sadly one of them did leaked out that info.. gusto lang talaga ni GeoHot ma spotlight... hehehehe

Geohot has launched YiPhone.org which displays a timer likely counting down to his release of a jailbreak.

This follows some drama in the iPhone community over the past while. First, it seems like someone leaked the Dev-Team's exploit to Geohot (at least according to the Dev-Team).

Then Geohot posts on his blog suggesting that the Dev-Team release PwnageTool before someone else does (example Zibri).

The Dev-Team responds saying that Geohot has been kicked off the Dev Team in the past, some of the tools he has been using belong to them, someone leaked their 2.0 exploit to Geohot, and that Geohot is trying to provoke them into releasing PwnageTool early.

Now, it seems as though a new website has been launched at YiPhone.org with a countdown timer. To what exactly we are not sure; however, you can bet it will involve a jailbreak!

Wow! it's 9 hours and counting! I may not be able to make it though, since I have classes tomorrow morning, I'll check onto it, read some reviews and see if his release will unlock the 2.0 firmware. I just wish they all worked together. Secretive or not.

Sobrang daming drama

Geo - Provoking the Dev team
Dev Team - Accusing Geo and zibri
zibri - the middle man of the three, always stuck with accusations and hate mails.
