It didn’t take the iPhone Dev Team a long time to update their QuickPwn tool to work with the latest iPhone firmware v2.1.

QuickPwn now supports jailbreak of all currently available v2.x iPhone firmware versions, from v2.0 to v2.1. Supported devices are both the original and 3G iPhones. NOTE: this version of QuickPwn is not compatible with second generation iPod Touch devices.

Also, QuickPwn is able to unlock original (2G) iPhones, but it still cannot do so with the 3G model.
