Thanks to the dedicated hard work of the iPhone Dev Team, the iPhone running iPhone firmware 3.0; released on Wednesday, is now jailbreak able.
For the layman, jailbreak is the hack to enable the iPhone to run Apple unauthorized 3rd party applications on your iPhone.
Note: Personally I have less and less of a reason to jailbreak my iPhone, given all the excellent 3rd party applications (free and for fee) available in the Apple iTunes App Store. Especially with the latest iPhone firmware 3.0 added features and improvements.

The iPhone Dev Team says that QuickPwn for Macintosh, QuickPwn for Windows and Ultrasn0w tools will be released soon.
