iPhone 4 Immediately Jailbroken by ‘He Who Must Be Named’

Well that didn’t take long.  Our favorite iPhone hacker-extraordinaire, Geohot, has once again done the incredible.  He has successfully jailbroken the new iOS 4 on his iPhone 4.  Now, before you go tweeting/emailing him up a storm asking when an official software release will be available, I would think twice.  Apparently he has already been inundated with requests, and is a bit annoyed with them at this point.  Suffice it to say he would rather not receive any more. From his latest blog entry:

“Got one of these in the mail today and figured I’d give it a shot.

As far as a release goes, it probably won’t happen from me. limera1n is little more than a raindrop on a website; it was never mentioned by me previous to this post. pwned4life is a complete invention of some blogger in a basement somewhere. When I said pwned for life, I was referring to the original iPhone, 3G, and Touch; which of course are, by the aptly named PwnageTool.

Again, please don’t ask for release dates. Every person that does makes me want to release a little bit less.”

So, there you have it. Let’s wait and hope he has some happy days ahead and decides to release the rumored limera1n in the near future, or that someone picks up where he leaves off should he decide not to continue. In either event, we know it can be done now, and that it didn’t take him much time whatsoever to do so.  Then again, this is Geohot we’re talking about here.
