Users should not confuse jailbreaking with unlocking the iPhone. Unlocking would mean that it would be possible to use another phone provider with the iPhone.

The WinPwn software is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista 32/64 bit and users have to make sure to uninstall any previous version of the software and that a compatible version of iTunes, that is iTunes 7.7, is installed on the system.

The Apple iPhone Apps website published a detailed walkthrough of the process that it takes to jailbreak the iPhone under Windows and it is probably a good idea to use it for guidance.

I do not have a iPhone and will not buy one but I thought it would be nice to link to a software that is supposed to unlock the iPhone.

I found the link at betanews where at least one user commented that the iPhone unlocker is indeed working. Unlock iPhone is available for Microsoft operating systems such as Windows XP and Vista and is supposed to work with 4 and 8 Gigabyte models. A version for OSX is coming out soon as well.

The software actually has only two buttons which are named ‘Unlock iPhone” and ‘Close’. Both are pretty self explanatory and the process to unlock the iPhone should be pretty clear. Again, I did not test it myself so be cautious when using the software.
