PWN your iPhone from a Windows machine - PwnageTool available for Windows users

All you Windows-using iPhoners out there can join the Pwnage club with the release of winpwn. Just like the Mac-only PwnageTool released by the iPhone Dev Team, winpwn allows you to "pwn" your iPhone using your Windows machine. Pwn-ing your iPhone requires that you build a custom IPSW (firmware/OS) bundle and upload it to your iPhone. Once the IPSW is built, you can "pwn" your iPhone by making it accept this un-sanctioned firmware. Uploading a custom OS to your iPhone allows you f orce iTunes to restore your iPhone with third-party applications already installed and unlocked/activated for use with any GSM carrier . That means you can build iPhone OS files that are pre-jailbroken, saving you the time and (minor) hassle of jailbreaking, unlocking, activating and installing third-party applications on your iPhone. Grab the winpwn package here . Keep in mind that it's in beta testing, so don't be surprised if you stumble upon a bug or two. Oh, and check out this tutorial before you dive in (if you can tear yourself away from staring at that too-cute kitty). Better safe than sorry, as they say.
