iPhone 4 users and would-be owners who have been waiting for a way to unshackle carrier-locked versions of the phone have some tapping to do. The infamous Dev Team has released a new version of ultrasn0w, its iPhone unlock utility, which has been updated for the iPhone 4.
Announced on the Dev-Team Blog, ultrasn0w is now available in Cydia, the app store for jailbroken iOS devices. To access Cydia, you must first use JailbreakMe, a new Web-based jailbreak utility for iOS devices that takes advantage of a fairly significant PDF exploit in iOS 4.
Apple has promised an update to patch this exploit, but has yet to release it or provide a release time frame. For comparison, hackers at the Black Hat security conference last summer discovered an exploit in the iPhone’s SMS, and Apple patched it the next day.
