iPhone Dev Team unleashes Pwnage Tool 2.0
Sort of. Pwnage Tool 2.0 can't handle 3G iPhone SIM unlocks just yet, though jailbreaking should work just fine, and we're also faced with the teensy little problem of the Dev Team's server being totally destroyed by downloads already -- mirror please? -- but the friendly little jailbreak app has finally been unleashed upon the earth. We'd never suggest trying out software like this right out of the gate, but, um, let us know how it goes, yeah?
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
Update: We're seeing mixed results so far in the comments, but no bricked phones to speak of. Always a good thing. Oh, and plenty of mirrors to be found in the comments, thanks guys!
Update 2: Looks like 2.0.1 is already out with a few fixes!

I posted this same message over at Engadget, but I'm sure it'll help people here too:
To everyone asking if the Devteam will be porting to Windows, the past says no. They never have and I doubt they ever will. That will be up to someone else and will probably be days to weeks.
To those of you who can't seem to get the program to run or are thinking about using it, I did a restore to 2.0 from my 1.1.4 first-generation phone and everything is working perfectly right now. It loaded apps, they run, and I'm using a T-Mobile SIM card.
If you are looking for the difficult to find 3.9 and 4.6 bootloaders, try here: http://www.enkrypted.com/bootloaders.rar

Did u say you're a legal iPhone user? You should have said no, that will unlock the iPhone as well as Jailbreak and activate it.
