More blah blah blah.

According to a thread at Hackintosh, late yesterday the very industrious folk over at #iPhone have enabled a full interactive shell in the iPhone OS using the iPhoneInterface app mentioned previously, coupled with some creative soldering involving a resistor and some pins, plus three short commands through iPhoneInterface. The resulting serial console got the hackers an interactive shell with a near complete command list that is a massive step towards achieving their holy grail. (At least that’s how I understand it.)

We officially don’t support this - we’re just reporting it - but nevertheless the world waits with bated breath.
