Yes you read that right! iPhone 4 has been successfully jailbroken only within a few days of launch! It looks like the “userland” jailbreak vulnerability which was used by Spirit jailbreak tool was not all that properly patched by Apple, and hence @planetbeing (of Android port for iPhone fame) and @chpwn has managed to get root access on the device using code of @comex’s userland jailbreak method. @Planetbeing posted about this news on his Twitter account.

Since iOS 4.0.1 is rumored to be rolled out as early as this coming Monday, an update to Spirit userland jailbreak tool can only be expected after this firmware update has been released sometime in the next week or so which will jailbreak iPhone 4, along with iPhone 3GS (new bootrom), iPod touch (MC models) and iPod touch 3G.

Oh and one more thing, even though iPhone 4 has been jailbroken, don’t expect it to get carrier unlock soon. This is because iPhone 4 uses a new baseband OS, which will require a complete rewrite for ultrasn0w unlocking tool to work on it.

The DevTeam and others have been checking through the iPhone 4, and have noticed the baseband runs a completely different OS than on previous models. The iPhone 3G and 3G[S] both ran Nucleus OS on the PMB8878 baseband CPU (aka XGold 608), where the iPhone 2G ran the PMB8876 (aka S-Gold 2). iPhone 4 uses the PMB9800, or X-Gold 618 – running a separate OS – ThreadX, an RTOS by ExpressLogic.

So what this means is that an unlock for iPhone 4 wont be out anytime soon. So if you are an International user, you are good to go with unlocked versions of iPhone 4. US iPhone 4 users will have to wait for long before they can use this device on carriers other than AT&T.

In addition, Froyo offers significant performance enhancements, new enterprise capabilities, a supercharged V8 Javascript engine, as well as a fresh set of APIs and services.
"The growth of the Android ecosystem continues to exceed our expectations. Every day, 100,000 new people start using Android-based handsets," explained Google spokesperson Andy Rubin. 

"There are now more than 180,000 active Android developers who have contributed over 50,000 apps to the Android Market."


Meanwhile, Android SDK Tech Lead Xavier Ducrohet offered an in-depth look at some of the enhancements in the latest version of the OS, including:

• Speed: The Dalvik JIT compiler in Android 2.2 delivers between a 2-5X performance improvement in CPU-bound code vs. Android 2.1.
   
• Enterprise capabilities: Google has added Exchange capabilities such as account auto-discovery and calendar sync. In addition, device policy management APIs now allow developers to write applications to control the following security features: remote wipe, minimum password and lockscreen timeout.
   
• Faster, more powerful browser: The V8 JavaScript engine - which is now part of the the Android browser (in 2.2) - results in a 2-3X improvement of JavaScript performance vs. 2.1.
   
• Rich set of new APIs and services: New data backup APIs allow apps to participate in data backup and restore. Apps can also utilize Android Cloud-Device Messaging to enable mobile alert, send to phone and two-way push sync functionality. 

   
• Additions to Android Market: The Market currently offers Android application error reports, along with a bug reporting feature.

NASA announced an MMORPG they were working on a while ago, but since that announcement, little has been said about the game.  The NASA MMO is currently named Astronaut: Moon, Mars and Beyond MMO, with very little info being released.  However, they are launching a mini-demo game that looks like it will have some multiplayer.  Moonbase Alpha will launch July 6th and might just give us a taste of what the NASA MMO will look and feel like.
The official website for Moonbase Alpha only has a teaser as of now.  From the trailer, it looks like a cooperative building scenario game.  It’s not really an MMO, but it’s the precursor, so it’s definitely worth a look.
We’ll be checking it out here at MMOCrunch.com come July 6th, so stay tuned for more information.

There is an option to disable the blue pulsing tethering bar on top, which you can convert it into a status bar icon.

You need to have a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch to install MyWi 4.0 and get it working. Since MyWi 4.0 has been scheduled for an early release (later today or early tomorrow), we will post more updates on this soon.
