Geohot Jailbreaks The iPhone OS 4.0 With Blackra1n

on 04/12/2010 09:55 PDT

Looks like the freshly-announced iPhone OS 4.0 isn’t holding off the jailbreaking community very much, as after it was jailbroken by the Dev-Team, GeoHot, another popular iPhone hacker, has also managed to jailbreak the iPhone OS 4.0. As you can see from the picture uploaded on his Twitter account, he’s got blackra1n running on iPhone OS 4.0. Do you think that Apple will eventually be able to stop all the jailbreaking that’s happening to the iPhone, or will the hacking community always be one step ahead of them?

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
