I think the whole reason for the delay was not because of the "legality" issue. This may have caused concern, but the cause may be just so that they could play this little "joke" on us. idk. that's just my opinion

[Blackwidow74]

it`s an april fools joke..

[phatphob]

OHhhhh the Drama!!! ...

[drunix]

Someone did it someone else will do it again.

Even if dev team is gone, there will come another team "Our saviors" to mess the things for Apple again...

Think about an asian or european company buying dev team secrets and day by day info to make a REAL IFONE KILLER. It makes sense.

Apple is selling phones thanks to dev team (let get real) LOTS of phones , so i dont thing they will comitte suicide, but who knows.

Anyway I hope this is Aprils fool

my 2 rupees..

April Fool's day joke? Could be, but we're hearing it might be real: the long standing bastions of iPhone hacking, the iPhone Dev Team, posted a note to their site stating that "[today] the DevTeam was approached by an unnamed party to sell all of the intellectual property and related applications. After much consideration [What, hours? -Ed.] the offer was accepted and the [Dev Team] has ceased." Seems a bit outlandish. For those not in the know, the Dev Team is the same group that posted jailbreaks to 2.0 (before it was out), 1.1.3, 1.1.1, developed the AnySIM unlock, and are thiiiis close to releasing the Pwnage tool (which promised total unsigned firmware control of the iPhone). So yeah, it may well be a prank, we wouldn't put it past them. Funny thing about the hacker community though, one goes down and 10 more spring up.

[Thanks Andrew, Erica]




Update: Yep, it's an April Fool's joke. We're just going to go offline until April 2nd, peace.

"on the Beta release of iPhone and iPod Touch OS 2.0, seeded to developers. This is build 5a225c.

You're on your own as for activation, unlocks, etc, but software to assist in this should be popping up soon.

You probably WON'T be able to activate this using iTunes, even if you have AT&T, but grab it while you can.

Seed it, spread it."
