The iPhone Dev-Team has revealed how the iPhone was hacked in an hour long video presentation at the Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin.

This was the first time many of the team had met together offline and the video provides a very detailed explanation of the groups history and work.

Interestingly they note that at least 180 people with Apple corporate IPs update their phones using PwnageTool software on a regular basis

Very solid presentation in my opinion, concise and just enough information to explain the basics. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Well done, Dev Team.

@Steve I commend your choice to step down. Jailbreaking does require a certain level of metal acuity and technical savvy. Look at the bright side, youll be able to channel all your rage into more the important areas of your life = ) Dev Team presentation is interesting and exciting. However, ominous feeling that this is bringing a close to this chapter. Hopefully, as always they have charted their new direction. Just wouldnt be iPhone without the Dev Team. They have generated more interest and sold more iPhones than Apple could have ever dreamed. Without their support and selfless contributions we would have never truly actualized the amazing potential of this amazing device. Cheers to the Dev team for all they have done for iPhone and for all of us!

I'm sure there are others - like me - who've had little or no problems jailbreaking their iPhones (2Gs and 3Gs). Are you sure you were doing everything correctly? Were you using Cydia or Installer? I've had nearly zero problems jailbreaking since 1.1.3. Rajiv
