Apple’s security measures are never going to defeat the jailbreakers for long and firmware 3.1.2, 3.1.3 and 3.2 have now been cracked with Spirit, once again brought to us by the amazing Dev Team, who were behind the iPhone 3GS unlock.

A step by step tutorial is already feature on YouTube and includes shots of a root shell with full access to the iPad and iPhone.

The homebrew equivalent app store on jailbroken machines in called Cydia and features a plethora of apps that Apple would be wise to implement/approve. There certainly is some major talent in the homebrew coding World and Apple would do well to embrace that.

There’s no need to jailbreak everytime you swith your device off, you’ll be please ot hear that Spirit is unthetherd.

Just to end with the normal caveat, use jailbreaks and unlocks totally at your own risk. You may one day need a warranty if you battery goes, or could render the device useless. Unlikely but possible!

Apple will void your warranty, which you will need if you need to replace the battery.

I guess if the worst happens, you can always get yourself a free iPhone or free iPad!

Hot on the heels of the iPhone 3G is the iPhone 3GS, the latest must-have from the Apple stable…and we are going to show you how to get it free!   Read on for chapter and verse or get started with this quicklink:  Free iPhone 3GS

The iPhone 3GS is more powerful than the iPhone 3G, twice as fast and offers great new features such as the ability to shoot, edit and share videos, a 3-megapixel camera and voice control.

The devices retail at around £500 and although they are cheaper when taking out an iPhone contract, there is an increasingly popular method for getting hold of the iPhone 3GS completely free of charge.

Thanks to the phenomenon of Internet referral marketing (which allows consumers to receive rewards for signing up to free offers and advertising web sites) many people are now getting their hands on a free iPhone and all sorts of other must have items such as games consoles, cash and laptops.

Visitors to www.simplyfreeiphone.co.uk are learning how to get iPhones and more for free, thanks to the site’s easy to use format and documented proof that the referral system is genuine and provides access to tons of free stuff.

All that is required is for visitors to Simplyfreeiphone to take out a free, no obligation offer featured on the web site and refer some friends, setting them on the path to receiving their free iPhone 3G S or other desired free gift.

The site even provides a guide on how to unlock the iPhone once it arrives and for those who don’t want a freebie the site even guides them to the best iPhone contract on the market.

The system has since been featured on the BBC’s ‘Newsnight’ programme as a great way to get the latest gadgets for nothing.
