Geohot has announced that he has jailbroken the iPhone 4.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.
Considering that there already is a userland jailbreak coming for all 4.0 devices; Geohot may save his exploit for the future.

Here are his last messages:
"I was just having fun but some people had to take this all way too seriously. it's just a phone, and it isn't much fun anymore.
my bio isn't "iPhone hacker" it was just something i did occasionally when i was bored. seriously, i think many of you care way more than me
it was a cool ride, and i've learned a lot about a lot. perhaps one of these days i'll do a more formal goodbye."
