Gizmodo is reporting that Apple's recent iPhone firmware update has been hacked. This comes after the most recent hack allowing the iphone to be unlocked and used on different carrier networks (called jailbreaking).

This hack is not considered a "jailbreak" hack, but rather a complete hack that allows you to run _any_ app and use _any_ compatible carrier you want in the world.

According to the Dev Team, the custom 2.0 firmware is now up and running in many of their iPhones, running unsigned applications without a single problem.

The Dev Team also claims that this hack will be very difficult for Apple to close up.

I'm sure iPhone fans are rejoicing!
