We'd normally chalk this kind of thing up as an April Fool's day joke, but we're hearing it's real: the long standing bastions of iPhone hacking, the
iPhone Dev Team, posted a note to their site stating that "[today] the DevTeam was approached by an unnamed party to sell all of the intellectual property and related applications. After much consideration [What, hours? -
Ed.] the offer was accepted and the [Dev Team] has ceased." For those not in the know, the Dev Team is the same group that posted jailbreaks to
2.0 (before it was out),
1.1.3,
1.1.1, developed the
AnySIM unlock, and was thiiiis close to releasing the
Pwnage tool (which promised total unsigned firmware control of the iPhone). Funny thing about the hacker community though, take one down and 10 more spring up to take their place -- we're sure the iPhone Elite team is having quite a day.
[Thanks Andrew,
