Apple Renames iPhone 3G S to iPhone 3GS

Apple has begun changing all references to the name of the new iPhone from 'iPhone 3G S' to 'iPhone 3GS', according to a TidBits article.

I was ecstatic to see this morning that not only had Apple started following my construction in the press release announcing the iPhone 3GS's excellent initial sales, but that the company had also retroactively edited the press release announcing the iPhone 3GS to avoid the spaced-out name. For a few hours, that initial release's headline link on the main Apple PR page still used the old name, but I now see that even that headline has been fixed.


Its unclear whether this change will improve search results for the new device. It will however make things a bit easier for bloggers.

gmcmoz, calm down, and have a little respect! The Dev-Team have spent many hours programming just to make jailbreaking possible, let alone free to users.. Don't take it for granted

There is no jailbreak for the 3GS yet because the hardware is different and the jailbreak cannot be implemented the same way as on older iPhones. The device just launched, so it takes time to develop a solution for a new setup.

Where is the jailbreak for the iPhone 3GS? Why doesn't redsn0w work for it? Isn't it the same firmware and baseband?

The firmware is NOT the same. Iphone 3g is 1,2 whereas the 3GS is 2,1

you should get some manners and learn to be a little patient, you are getting a jailbreak and unlock for FREE because of all the hard work and time put in by people that could be at other stuff....
