Future-proofing the 3GS jailbreak

May 14th, 2010
Comments Off

Comments Off

This week Apple will be all over the news with their announcements at Wednesday’s “Let’s Rock” event.   But with so many new owners of the iPhone 3GS, and with so many new owners of the iPhone 3G (perhaps sold to them by these new 3GS owners)…now is a good time to send out this [...]
