It looks like Apple is finally trying to put an end to jailbreaking the iPhone.

Reportedly, all the iPhone 3GS units shipped starting last week have a new botroom (iBoot-359.3.2) that makes jailbreaking impossible.

According to iClarified, iBoot-359.3.2 is not vulnerable to the 24kpwn exploit which is used by the Dev-Team (among others) to jailbreak older iPhones and iPods.

So if you’re getting a new iPhone 3GS and want to jailbreak it, you should look for old stock, or buy a refurbished unit.
