Apple just announced the release of it’s OS 3.0 for the iPhone and iPod Touch this week so I was expecting that the jailbreak for it will happen weeks or even months after.

Turns out I’m wrong. The jailbreak (codenamed YellowSnow 3.0) will be released as soon as this weekend or maybe even today.

Actually, a live demo happened a couple of days ago with links for the unofficial (beta) versions of the jailbreak being broadcasted from iPhone Dev’s Twitter.

Better wait for the official release.

This time, you can even jailbreak your iPod Touch 2G (not iPhone 3G S) with the QuickPWN which is a much better tool than redsn0w or QuickFreedom.

From QuickPWN website:

4. Will I be able to jailbreak iPhone 3.0? When will the jailbreak be released?

Yes,  thanks to the iPhone Dev Team you will be able to jailbreak iPhone 3.0 firmware on all iPhones and iPod Touches except for iPhone 3G S. You will not be able to jailbreak or unlock the new iPhone 3G S yet. The iPhone Dev Team plans to release the jailbreak after the iPhone 3.0 update is released. Just keep checking back here if you want to download the jailbreak, I’ll make a post with the download links once it’s out.

Here’s what I’m excited about the new firmware:

• Improved Safari (again)
• Cut Copy Paste
• Shake device to shuffle music

Can’t wait for the jailbreak to try out the new 3.0 OS.

• Jailbreak for 3.0 firmware now available but…
• Jailbreak for the iPod Touch running on iOS4
• Quick way to jailbreak your iPod Touch with 3.1 firmware
• Jailbreak for 2nd Gen iPod Touch is drawing near
