email to a friendJames Sherwood of The Register reports:
Hardware hackers the iPhone Dev Team claim to have discovered a way to both unlock and jailbreak the new iPhone 3G S.
The group said that the so-called '24Kpwn' exploit – originally identified on the iPhone 2G – “is still applicable to the boot Rom of the iPhone 3G S”.
It’s the team’s belief that the exploit is the result of Apple signing off on the 3G S’ boot Rom back in August 2008 – before the 24Kpwn exploit was exposed.
Thanks to this discovery, the group claimed that the latest iPhone model can be jailbroken and unlocked using a similar technique to that used by the team’s famous redsn0w tool to free earlier iPhone models from O2’s clutches.
The iPhone Dev Team hasn’t said how long it’ll take to update ultrasn0w, it's tool for unlocking the iPhone 3G, so sit tight.

is it so that its less work for apple to support the platform?
surely if all networks offered the iphone it would be more competive pricing?Quote
I also believe new contracts are signed for every new release, so at each hardware refresh, the networks turn up with more bags of cash.Quote
This is definitely the case now. Ex clusive deals are very common in the US, so being exclusive on AT&T wasn't really that big of a surprise. But by the time they came to offer it round the world, the networks were lining up with big bags of cash looking for the same exclusive deal.
Very true - you can tell by the way the O2 stores/web site act like the iphone is the only phone you might want. It always the front page item - The N97 didn't ever appear. Got to make that money they paid out somehow.Quote
