Looks like the iPhone Dev Team’s widely awaited Pwnage 2.0 tool isn’t as good and easy to use as anticipated. There are major problems attempting to put iPhones into DFU mode - something which is necessary for it to work.

What do you know? Every single Apple online store site is down, and we’re hoping it’s for the 3G iPhone. But all of them? This surely means that there will be a mass roll out of the long awaited (and perhaps even non-existent, however unlikely) device. Expect roll-out of the iPhone 3G in definitely more than 15 countries.

Subsequently, it was titled Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (WVSP1) Release Candidate. Release Candidate means that the Service Pack is in a very final beta - with a few issues. It is not yet ready for everyone, and it is not advised to install the pack unless you are willing to risk something of some sort. More…
