WinPwn beta hacks iPhones for Windows users

Having finally overcome some unexpected obstacles, an early Windows version of the Mac's PwnageTool hacking software has been released. Dubbed WinPwn, the software is in a v0.99.1 beta version, and does not currently support the creation of IPSW files based on iPhone 2.0 firmware. Users can, however, flash their iPhones/iPod touches with v2.0 IPSWs created by PwnageTool. Other temporarily missing features include the ability to unlock a baseband receiver.

WinPwn's developer cautions that because the software is in beta, installing and using it may be risky, potentially forcing a complete restore of an iPhone or Touch during which user content could be deleted. The software also requires iTunesMobileDevice.dll, and a pre-existing installation of Apple's v1.1.4 firmware.
