Owners of the iPhone 3GS should now be able to both unlock and jailbreak their devices, the unofficial iPhone Dev Team has announced. The group has released 3GS-ready versions of ultrasn0w and redsn0w, which respectively handle both halves of hacking an iPhone. The move was forced, the Dev Team says, by the announcement of purplera1n, which can only jailbreak a 3GS.

Ultrasnow application which unlocks the iPhone 3G for use with any carrier. And it also works in conjunction with the Team’s Redsn0w application, which is first used to jailbreak the iPhone 3G and can unlock the latest iPhone OS 3.0 software.  The new versions of redsn0w and ultrasn0w are said to work on the iPhone 3GS with iPhone 3.0 as well as earlier models and OS versions.

The redsn0w release is also notable as it is the first to run on Linux as well as Mac OS X and Windows.
