iTunes 8 Jailbreak-proof at the moment, DevTeam working at a solution



While we expected firmware 2.1 to pose as a problem for jailbreakers, we didn’t expect iTunes 8 to become a problem. Well, Apple seems to have found a way for iTunes 8 to detect tampered firmware and block it from loading in the application. As a result, those who have pwned their firmware can no longer load it to their iPhone/iPod Touch thus putting to a screeching halt any attempts at jailbreaking/pwning any iPhone or iPod Touch at the moment.

While this is undeniable a setback to the jailbreaking front, and an iPhone 2.1 jailbreak particularly, the DevTeam has these reassuring words to say to all their followers:

The nice thing about iTunes decisions is that we can provide you with patches to counter them. We have one such patch already for Mac iTunes 8 for iPod touch. We�ll be working out the full suite of patches for all the combinations over the next week.
Words of hope indeed, but are people still up for it? I mean, honestly, I’ve upgraded to 2.1 and haven’t thought of jailbreaking anytime soon with all the various apps I can choose and play around with available at the App Store. Yeah, I know. Some like, some don’t; but how about guys? What’s your take on jailbreaking nowadays?
