Numberzz Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 The iPhone Dev team seems to have been bought out, for everything that they have done, as seen by this message on their front page: iPhone DevTeam PRESS RELEASEThe "DevTeam" would like to announce the immediate withdrawal from the iPhone development arena. It was anticipated that the DevTeam would be releasing a tool for the iPhone sometime this week, unfortunately it has been decided to withdraw all development activities on this tool. Criticism of the validity of the tool has been reported in the press and certain actions were taken to prevent the release of the tool on the 30th March. Due to these actions, certain developers ceased their work immediately, with others reconsidering their position. On Monday the 31st of March the DevTeam was approached by an unnamed party to sell all of thei intellectual property and related applications. After much consideration the offer was accepted and work has ceased. The name of the company that has made this offer is private, and the details of the deal are confidential. Our only comment is that Pwnage Tool and other such applications will not be seen outside of the lab. We would like to thank our users for their support over the last 10 months. ENDS This is very sad for all of us that were awaiting the release of the Pwnage tool that was supposed to allow unsigned code to run on the iPhone, allowing for custom images to be loaded on to the iPhone. That would mean that pre-jailbroken and pre-unlocked images and even a custom OS could be loaded on the iPhone. Do you think this is real or a April Fool's day joke? Tell us here. EDIT: They said they are going offline until April 2nd. Ignore this story.

Snerler Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 What is Steve saying in that drawing? Im Ukrainian so my Russian is limited, but he is saying "hi" only the word is misspelled for some reason. I have seen this spelling used to greet the new president of Russia, so its some kind of joke...

stroke Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yeah, it's almost like a slang/joking/informal way of saying "hello," and is pronounced preev-yed.
