iPhone Dev Team says don’t upgrade to 2.2 yet

As always the iPhone Dev Team is warning about blindly installing the new firmware without instruction from them first. They have gone out explaining the pros and cons of immediately installing one of these updates without knowing all that it is doing to your phone.

With all the safety measure measures that Apple are taking to prevent the jailbreaking of iPhones we would not be surprised to see a hidden feature in the 2.2 firmware. It is true that the iPhone Dev Team has come up with a jailbreak for the new firmware but installing it may reduce

whether not kill your chances of unlocking the device.

They are now stating that installing 2.2 straight from the iTunes auto-updater can really hurt any chances of getting an unlock whether they ever find one.  The iPhone Dev Team additionally states that they are not currently working on the iPod Touch 2G right now. They are very interested in the platform but as you can tell they have their plate full for right now. We suspect they will get to it eventually when they have more day.
