iOS 4.1 Game Center Ported To Jailbroken iPhone 3G

One of the major downsides of the iPhone 3G at the moment is that you aren’t able to (officially) run the Game Center available on iOS 4.1. Of course, the limitations don’t always apply if you’re part of the jailbreaking community and the folks out there have managed to get the Game Center running on the iPhone 3G that has been jailbroken by the RedSn0w 0.9.6 jailbreak for iOS 4.1. A video (after the jump) demonstrates that the iPhone 3G is capable of running Game Center, so if you don’t mind fiddling with your iPhone 3G a little, you’ll be able to get hold of Game Center too. Just remember that you do so at your own risk though, as Apple wouldn’t be too impressed if you managed to brick your iPhone in some magical way.

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.
