The iPhone 3G unlock by iPhone Dev Team, which is coming in this month(tentatively) will work with latest iPhone Update.
The new snapshot on the iPhone Dev Team blog shows that the unlock for iPhone 3G will be compatible with the latest 2.2 firmware released by apple.
Finally, its done, people who have waited so long to get their iPhone 3G unlocked are in for a treat. iPhone dev team finally completed the task and they are now in the process of packaging the unlocking in user friendly apps PwnageTool and QuickPwn
Here are the few major part of the post done by iPhone Dev Team
The target release date for the unlock is New Year’s Eve 2008.
This unlock method is available to iPhone 3Gs that have 2.11.07 baseband or earlier.
It seems that the recent iPhone 2.2 update, had some hidden features in it, one of which is Tv-Out. Which means you can post live videos from iphone to Tv, when connected through a cable.
From ArsTechnica:
The MPTVOutWindow class allows your iPhone to send its video to a connected TV rather than to the built-in screen. Intended to be used with movies, the unpublished class creates a live video feed that is sent out through the iPhone’s connector port. End-users will need to buy a video adapter or cable to use this functionality.

If you updated your iPhone with the latest firmware 2.2, and wondering how to jailbreak it, then sweat no more, guys at iPhone-Dev released the QuickPwn and PwnageTool 2.2 version, which will work for your iPhone 2.2.
But before jailbreaking, please read the note by the iPhone-Dev Team :
If you have a 3G iPhone and want potential soft unlock in the near future do NOT use QuickPwn, and do not use the official ipsw or the iTunes update process without using PwnageTool.
