iPhone Linux!

,----[ Quote ]
| The iPhone is certainly known for its elegance and beauty, but around these
| parts it's also known for being closed and proprietary. The Open Source
| community does a little cheer when we hear about jailbreaking the iPhone --
| but soon we'll have even more to party about. Led by planetbeing (a member of
| the iPhone Dev Team), the project has successfully booted the 2.6 Linux
| kernel on one of the little beasties. It's still very much in the early
| stages, but now the forbidden fruit will be able to run Linux under its peel.

RC30 G1 phones can now be jailbroken

,----[ Quote ]
| Big news in the G1 jailbreak world today. The guys at the xda-developers
| forum have snagged RC29 and RC7 firmware images. By copying these to a
| FAT32-formatted SD card, you can flash these already signed images to your G1
| and jailbreak your G1.

G1 bootloader dumped: big step forward for G1 jailbreakers

,----[ Quote ]
| Jailbreaking allows users to gain read-write access to a device's entire file
| system, removing the limits set by Unix jail. Shortly after T-Mobile's G1 was
| jailbroken, Google responded by "fixing" the jailbreak exploit. The exploit
| had let users customize their system and install Jay Freeman's Debian for G1,
| a full set of Unix system tools. The RC30 update prevented anyone with
| factory-standard firmware from accessing their device's root file system.
