A new application has been released with the name SIMable. It supposedly unlocks the iPhone 3G to all carriers. The video after the break shows you a iPhone 3G unlocked on the network of VodaFone in Ireland. This is off course not possible without a unlock solution as O2 has been appointed the official iPhone 3G reseller in Ireland.
Straight from the iPhone-dev team blog.Did you think we’d sleep? really? Recommended method for updating is Sparkle (the internal updater inside PwnageTool) or using the Finder to decompress the files, don’t use command line tools to decompress as incorrect use will not preserve permissions, just double click the download above in the Finder.
The iPhone-dev team released a update on their blog, announcing that the new PwnageTool will be released later today. Version 2.0.2 will allow you to pwn your iPhone + iPod Touch firmware 2.0.1. However the team does warn you not to upgrade your iPhone 3G as of now as the new firmware changes the bl and could make your iPhone 3G unlockable in the future. Read the full post after the break.
The iPhone Dev-Team updated their blog with the message to NOT upgrade to the latest iPhone firmware 2.0.1 just yet. They are in the process of updating the PwnageTool so we can use the new firmware. Full Blog-post after the break.
The iPhone 3G is indeed an amazing phone, unfortunately it is not available to all even in countries where it is sold. Come August 20th, that will change for many, for that is when USB fever will be releasing their iPhone 3G unlocking tool. 
Here is a tutorial on how to use the newly released WinPwn 2.0. It’s fairly easy to use, but here’s a step-by-step guide on the features. To use this version of WinPwn, make sure you first uninstall WinPwn 1.0 if you have it already installed. Installing 2.0 over 1.0 will cause a few problems. Also make sure you are using iTunes version 7.7.
