The iPhone Dev Team (mostly Aviegas) has just released Liberty+. Liberty+ is a rival for jailbreaking and unlocking, taking on the heavyweight ZiPhone, I got a chance to beta test this on windows, and I found it quite similar and different than ZiPhone, similar in the fact that it goes into verbose mode, different because the Installer app is optional, Liberty+ comes with a dozen or so packages that you can install while it jailbreaks. On the beta I had no problems jailbreaking it, but installing Installer did not work. However geohot fixed it. Hopefully this application is as successful as ZiPhone, and propels both to do better work than the other.

Let us know if it works for you in the comments!

From ZiPhone.org-

“As promised, here you go !
For the jailbreak to work you have to
restore to 1.1.4 before running ziphone.
45 seconds of ZiPhone and you are done !
I tested it on my 32gb iPod.
I told you I would not let you down

Enjoy!”

Wow. Where did that come from? I go rest my old eyes for a few minutes and when I wake up. . . WTF? Where did that come from and how did that get there?
With Apple putting out the new MacBooks and then the 2GB iPod shuffle yesterday, I thought they were finished for the day. Well folks, it’s really here. 1.1.4 firmware is here. It seems that Apple is actually stepping up to the plate and getting ready for the SDK.
TUAW alerts us with a live report on the download and Engadget reports that it consists of mainly “Bug Fixes”. Engadget further reports that it works on a jailbroken 1.1.3 and a non jailbroken 1.1.3 also that ZiPhone works as well.

I will be trying this out myself in a couple of hours and I will report back. Enjoy.
