So apparently Steve Jobs is continuing in his part-time user support role, and has answered another customer’s query on whether Apple will be supporting updates for the iPhone 2G (the original iPhone) in future.  The response is shockingly about twice as long as is typical from Steve, in numbers of …

  Yowza.  Those guys at the iPhone Dev Team really don’t mess around. iPhone OS 4.0 only just got previewed and there is already a jailbreak for it – with the standard video evidence provided by team member MuscleNerd.  Notice in the demo you can see Cydia as well as …
