(MoC) Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 This is a very sad story for all us iPhone junkies. Look at the excerpt from Engadget below: We'd normally chalk this kind of thing up as an April Fool's day joke, but we're hearing it's real: the long standing bastions of iPhone hacking, the iPhone Dev Team, posted a note to their site stating that "[today] the DevTeam was approached by an unnamed party to sell all of the intellectual property and related applications. After much consideration [What, hours? -Ed.] the offer was accepted and the [Dev Team] has ceased." For those not in the know, the Dev Team is the same group that posted jailbreaks to 2.0 (before it was out), 1.1.3, 1.1.1, developed the AnySIM unlock, and was thiiiis close to releasing the Pwnage tool (which promised total unsigned firmware control of the iPhone). Funny thing about the hacker community though, take one down and 10 more spring up to take their place -- we're sure the iPhone Elite team is having quite a day.

stroke Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Doubtful, to say the least. Of course it's possible it did just coincidentally happen right on/near April 1st (no sarcasm intended). Some convincing things have also been going on .hu: [18:41:21] -Global- [netkas] "#iPhone will remain for 10 days, please do not PM about this, our decision has been made. iphone-dev.org" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/96751-iphone-dev-team-says-good-bye/#findComment-691057 Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Doubtful, to say the least. Of course it's possible it did just coincidentally happen right on/near April 1st (no sarcasm intended). Some convincing things have also been going on .hu: [18:41:21] -Global- [netkas] "#iPhone will remain for 10 days, please do not PM about this, our decision has been made. iphone-dev.org" Let's hit the IRC channels and see what we can find for people. I'm pretty sure iPwner is leaked to a select few. But that is not my purpose for suggesting IRC. Maybe someone can figure out something....

stroke Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 People don't leak stuff like that. And osx86.hu is a madhouse, especially in #iphone and related channels; all you'll find is stupid people saying stupid things.
