Do NOT update iTunes to 8.2
Yesterday, Apple started pushing out their official iTunes 8.2, which supports mobile devices at firmware 3.0. Here’s why you jailbreakers and yellowsn0w-users shouldn’t really accept that “Update now?” question:
Most people aren’t at 3.0. In fact 3.0 is still in beta and has lots of bugs (especially related to push updates).
It breaks your ability to use QuickPwn, PwnageTool, and iPhone Tunneling Suite (ssh over usb). We don’t think this is a deliberate breakage of these tools. It’s just that Apple has updated a low-level USB protocol that normally only Apple cares about (but jailbreakers care about).
So far, the only appreciable change to iTunes 8.2 is the Genius function working on videos.
It may actually break Palm Pre’s connection to the device (please give us feedback on this).
This update is one of those that incidentally breaks QuickPwn and PwnageTool. It doesn’t seem like an anti-jailbreak. But nonetheless, it will break your ability to re-run QuickPwn or PwnageTool’s dfu-entry.
Because this update isn’t a deliberate anti-jailbreak measure, it’s easily fixed in our tools. But we really don’t want to update our tools until 3.0 is out, so please don’t update to 8.2 if you think you’ll need to rejailbreak your device. :)
YellowSn0w on 2.2.1 and beyond
We see many questions about whether yellowsn0w can ever be made to work on firmware versions past 2.2 (or equivalently, basebands past 02.28). This is probably a good place to address those questions:
If there is a yellowsn0w update for firmware after 2.2 (or basebands after 02.28), there is no way it would ever be released before 3.0 is official. It just wouldn’t make any sense to release an exploit for something that only those who have beta 3.0’s (NDA signers) could use. Most people in the world aren’t NDA signers. Any yellowsn0w update for 3.0 would need to happen *after* 3.0 is officially available. |

Well that's exactly why this thread was started, to give people pointers about the iPhone, and extra information. If you don't want to read it, then don't lol, but if you want the answers to your questions, then read it. |

At first it sucked, because I just wasn't used to it, but after a week, I can type faster text messaging than I could with a button phone. It's just so much easier! |

Any new inside reports or rumours anyone's been hearing about when the iPhone 3.0 OS is being released?
I honestly cannot wait for apps to have real time alerts updated automatically. This is going to make the iPhone 10x more useful I think and bring to light a bunch of new and interesting apps that have been waiting for this. We all want to have information at our finger tips and be connected all the time, that's why we bought these things, and finally the apps will get this as well. |

EDIT: Monday, WWDC is not this weekend |

As long as there is solid jail break for it, i can't pay for apps i DL like 4 or 5 games a day to pass time at work and if i had to pay for that it be way too much $$$$ |
