Apple released the latest firmware for iPhone early today. While ZiPhone was claimed to be working for most people on the latest firmware, but they were widespread reports that ZiPhone couldn’t activate phones with Firmware 1.1.4 but could successfully Jailbreak and Unlock it.

This time around a guy named George (Not to be confused with George Hotz of the Gunlock fame) has come up with a simple solution to Activate and Jailbreak iPhones with the latest firmware.
