Just in case you missed the news, it seems one ambitious hacker has decided not to wait for the iPhone Dev. Team to release their official Jailbreak program for the iPhone 3G S (they’ve said they plan to wait until the 3.10 upgrade is released before releasing their official jailbreak app.)

Code named, “purplera1n” the application is now available for both Windows and Mac users.

You can find out more about purplea1n on the developer’s web site.

Note:  Use the software at your own risk.  Gear Diary takes no responsibility if you end up bricking your phone.

I have always had a passion for gear and gadgets. It all started for me with the release of the very first Palm Pilot. I've always had an interest in handheld electronics. From handheld PDAs, to cell phones, Mp3 players, watches and other products, I'm the first person my friends, family and colleagues call when they need advice on tech. I have roots in the online tech. forum community. I served as the Administrator to Howard Forums.com and as a Moderator at both Treo Central.com and Blackberry Forums.net. Under the screen name “lgreenberg” I've amassed 50,000+ postings. I also manage my own YouTube channel under the user name larrygreenberg. I'm always eager to help.

    Worked a treat for me on the 3GS. Unlocked with ultrasn0w and am using T-Mo (USA) nicely with the 3GS. YMMV, of course.
