I can confirm this new tool works I have just Jailbroken my 2.1 iPhone using it.

Head over to the iPhone Dev website for more info.

Personally I would not use any Jailbreak software to jailbreak the 3G iPhone.

I use jailbreak software on my 2G iPhone, I paid £250 for the phone (now replaced by my 3G iPhone) and feel I have the right to use it as a test bed. My 3G will always use Apple original software.

As for the opposition of iPhone-Dev there are only screenshots of XiPhone, will it ever be released?

You are welcome to share your views here.

All the very Best

  • Improved email reliability, notably fetching email from POP and Exchange accounts
  • Faster installation of 3rd party applications

Myself: I found:
The 3G and Edge symbols have been changed.
The keyboard was quicker.
Picked up 3G quicker.
Maybe my ears are playing tricks on me but it sounded louder to.
Have not messed around with iPod function yet but sounds like a great idea.
Let me know how you found it.
All the best
