iPhone Pwnage - 1.1.4 to 2.0

iPhone Pwned

Many thanks to the iphone-dev team and all of their hard work. Those guys rule.

My upgrade was not without a few "oh @#$%&?! moments", but downloading the firmware from Apple via iTunes and the 2.0.1 version of the pwnage tool made all of the difference in the world.

After accidentally upgrading to 2.0 and putting my phone in emergency calls only mode, I followed the upgrade steps found on this page and everything worked brilliantly.

Just search for "iPhone 2.0 Upgrade Steps for 2G iPhones ACCIDENTALLY Upgraded to 2.0 already." in the comments.

Ubisoft’s Brothers in Arms - Hell’s Highway

We launched the complete Brothers in Arms - Hell's Highway site for Ubisoft and Gearbox a few days ago and the response has been extremely positive. The team at POP focused on creating a rich and deep experience that conveys a reverence for the actual event BIA-HH is based on, 1944's Operation Market Garden.

One special section to note is the Timeline; a piece of premium content you don't typically see in a gaming site. Our Operation Market Garden Timeline covers each day of the operation with detailed descriptions, images from John Antal's book, maps, and exclusive historical video.
