Apple releasing new iPhone 3GS units with un-jailbreakable boot-ROMs?

It looks like the cat and mouse game continues.  According to MuscleNerd and the iPhone Dev Crew, a new BootROM called iBoot-359.3.2, is appearing in new iPhone 3GS units that is resistant to the 24kpwn exploit used by the Dev-Team and others to jailbreak the iPhone.  At this point, and in the immediate future, there doesn't look to be a jailbreak for this ROM.

But, you know how this works.  Give it a month or so and we'll probably be back to jailbreaking again.  In the meantime, refurbished iPhone 3GSes are going to be the hot item.

Ok so their really fast to protect their own interests, but when it comes to serious bugs, like the Guest account on Snow Leopard, they take their time?

Way to go Apple.

"Ok so their really fast to protect their own interests"....

Try again, the iPhone has been out for OVER two years. Jailbreaking has been going on for OVER two years.

If TWO YEARS is really fast, then 60 days must be an instant

Where are you seeing refurbished 3GS for sale?

Why is it so hard for Apple to use an OS with 1024-bit encryption that hasn't been cracked? And won't be cracked for the next 10 years.

Jailbreak = 2019

I really would like to contribute with the DEV Team, is there a guide on how to program or make jail breaks for the iPhone? how do you get trained to understand how the jailbreaking or the internal programming of the iPhone works?
