"After many, many hours of intense work from "Nightwatch", the first independent "Hello World"* application has been compiled and launched on the iPhone. This was made possible using the "ARM/Mach-O Toolchain", Nightwatch's "special project", that he has been working on so carefully over the past few weeks. Certain parts of the toolchain (such as the assembler) are being refined and tested and these will be released as soon as possible.
It should be noted that Nightwatch has been instrumental in creating these tools, working in near isolation to get them finished. Nightwatch was also responsible for the "jail exploit" that he developed from information he and other members of the the dev team discovered.
Please join us to thank Nightwatch, Tmiw, Darkten and Daeken for making this happe"

He hasnt released the app because its not really an app. Its a test... a common thing for someone to do when they are first trying out new things is to write a hello world program with simply the words "hello word". Its just a test and when it does work it gives them that sense of accomplishment. It shows they are the creator and gave life to there program and it said hey for the first time. So..... in other words its just a test.
