RedSn0w 0.9.5 Beta Can Jailbreak iOS 4.0 GM Seed

MuscleNerd has confirmed that RedSn0w 0.9.5 Beta can jailbreak the pre-release of iOS 4.0 GM on the iPhone 3G for those with legit activations.

For those with legit iPhone3G activation on 4.0GM seed, redsn0w from 2 wks ago can JB your device.

RedSn0w 0.9.5 uses the same pwnage2 DFU-mode exploit that's been around since the 2.x days. Nothing new is revealed to Apple, and it's not applicable to the iPad. Don't go near it if you use yellowsn0w, ultrasn0w, or blacksn0w.

The iPhone Dev-Team also stresses that iOS 4 is only intended for developers with authorized access.

iPhone 4G Will Likely Launch in June [18th?]

release of the iPhone 4G, according to the BGR.

We have confirmed with multiple AT&T store reps that their sales quotas for the month of June are ridiculously high. Yes, this means the iPhone is confirmed to launch in June, not July. Knowing how many units stores received per day/week last year, if the iPhone launched in the last week of June, on Friday the 25th, we’re pretty sure the new sales quotas couldn’t be met (in-store orders don’t count as they don’t get recognized until the customer picks them up). We have heard stores having a 25-30% increase in their sales quota, so we’d like to think the next Apple iPhone will launch on Friday, June 18th.

Previous rumors suggested that Apple wants to release the new iPhone as soon as possible due its earlier then expected unveiling.

@EmmanueGT yep..so don't sell or give away your 3GS :) (at same time, remember not to accept Apple FW upgrades in future)

The iPad is set to launch tomorrow in nine countries; however, it seems that shipments are getting through a bit earlier than expected.

Reports indicate that customers in Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK have all received early shipments. With the UK customers being the luckiest.
