GeoHot, the person who originally found the exploit in the iPhone 3GS system, has released a jailbreaking utility codenamed “PurpleRa1n”. He released it even after the Dev Team clearly stated that they were planning on waiting until iPhoneOS 3.1 to reveal the exploit.
Update: GeoHot has released a newer version of his PurpleRa1n, you can download it at his site.
Update: The Dev Team has just released updates to RedSn0w and PwnageTool to now work with the iPhone 3GS, since the exploit is now out in the open.
So, use RedSn0w or PurpleRa1n? Well, I would suggest RedSn0w, but you never know. Anyone who has yet to purchase a iPhone 3GS and plans on jailbreaking, should do so soon, the anticipated iPhoneOS 3.0.1 is supposed to bring a patch to block this exploit, but once you jailbreak, your set for life.
Of course, you could always wait for the Dev Team, or GeoHot, to find another hole in the iPhone 3GS, its just a matter of time, but who likes waiting?
