iPhone OS 3.0 carrier unlocked
The team responsible for the jailbreaking of the iPhone OS has cracked the latest iPhone OS 3.0 (which has yet to be released to the general public), enabling it to be installed on non AT&T cells.
On Tuesday evening (just before the big Apple release) we’ll do a live demo of the yellowsn0w carrier unlock working on official 3.0 firmware. The actual link for the feed will be twittered by @MuscleNerd and also placed here when the feed starts. The demo should answer everything you need to know about the new yellowsn0w. But it’s good news for iPhone 3G unlockers everywhere.

PS: iPhones sold in Singapore are already factory unlocked due to anti-competition laws.
