Default Confused about jailbreaking 3GS iPhone...

I decided to keep the iPhone despite AT&T sucking. I also want to jailbreak. The phone is a 3GS but has 3.0.1 OS installed, not 3.1. So with the 3.0.1 can I jailbreak? I can't seem to find a straight answer or a tutorial on how to do it, just the 3G with 3.0 OS.

Also it seems that some of the software is mac only? What software would I use on a PC?

Sorry about the questions, I know they should be out there but there is too much info it seems and everything is getting jumbled and confusing.

Not sure about the jailbreaking (OmegaNemesis28 should be able to help you with that), but the software, iTunes, can be used on both Mac or PC.

Should have to get firmware 3.0 (downgrade from 3.0.1) you can do that bu downloading the old firmware and then holding shift while clicking restore in itunes.

Select the old firmware then let it do its thing.

lol...yeah, I wasn't sure about even asking the question but I figured it isn't illegal (at least I don't think it is) to jailbreak an iPhone since all the software is freeware so nothing is being pirated.

Anyways, thanks everyone who posted, I think I might have found what I was looking for which is basically what LuckySe7ens said. It just looks like I can't upgrade to 3.1 using Pwnage Tool without a Mac.

Looks like it was successful. Cydia is down loading a couple updates and then I will test it out and see what happens.

Jailbreak on 3.0.1, then you can use PwnageTool on a Mac to update to 3.1 without touching the baseband.

Yeah, the JB was successful and really easy. Just downloaded the 3.0 firmware and then downloaded redsn0w. Ran redsn0w and it pretty much took care of everything. Took about 3 minutes.
