It has come to light through MuscleNerd from the iPhoneDev Team that the new iPhone 3GS units are being shipped with a new bootrom chip that is resistant to the 24kPwn exploit used in the jailbreak process.

“oh oh, from what @cpich3g + @Mathieulh have found so far, a normal untethered JB may be in jeopardy in brand new 3GS units”
This latest move on Apple”’’s part is to stop people from using their devices as they see fit and gain control over user experience. I am not surprised that Apple has not taken a stronger legal venue to stop jailbreaking, because after all we are an endless source of ideas, new technologies and original content that they can easily steal since they pushed us near illegality. We are used for their Quality Assurance and discover their major bugs and holes without being detrimental to our own devices nor being payed. It”’’s nice to use people”’’s work for free and profit from it, after all we are the “bad guys” who aid bandits and terrorists.
Did anybody wonder how Copy and Paste feature came into being??? It came first to to us the jailbreak community, and I can bet that Apple didn””t pay a dime to the original author. There is a lot more that Apple is stealing from us and claims it”’’s theirs. It”’’s too profitable for them to just stop jailbreaking altogether. So the cat and mouse game continues, after all we gotta find the vulnerability in the new bootrom. Who else has the imagination and motivation to do it? I bet it”’’s not a underplayed and overworked employee. So keep it up Apple !!! When you will win that will be the end of the iPhone era because by then all the other manufactures will learn what not to do and how to treat their clients.
