Purplera1n for Mac to Jailbreak iPhone 3GS Released; UltraSn0w Unlocks iPhone 3GS
George Hotz (aka Geohot) who had released a software called purplera1n to jailbreak iPhone 3GS only for Windows users has now released purplera1n for Mac users.
He has also released updated version of purplera1n RC2a for Windows users which includes some more payload stability improvements.
Geohot has given credit for the Mac version of purplera1n to jailbreak iPhone 3GS to AriX:
"You asked for it, and we delivered. I'm not a mac coder, so AriX and westbaer stepped up to do it."
He has also released an updated version of purplera1n for Windows users:
"some more payload stability improvements were made, and the windows
version was updated to RC2a. There is no reason to run RC2a if you
already have RC2 installed."
