bootneuter.jpgWhat may be the deepest crack yet for the iPhone is coming out today next week for your perusal. It takes over “the lowest layers of Apple’s device,” allowing for unsigned, custom firmware to be dropped in. That’s more than allowing custom apps, that’s allowing for a whole different OS to be put on there, or maybe even give it the power to warm up your food. Doubtless it will soon be available for the iPod Touch as well. The PWNED toolset was supposed to be released today but they’re polishing it until next week.
