Geohot CAN JB an iPhone 4!

So Geohot finally got an iPhone 4 in the post yesterday and he has had a go at a jailbreak.

As you can see from the picture at the side he has managed to get cydia to install and run on the device but further down in his blog post he doesn’t seem to want to release it to the public.

At the very start of Georges latest blog post he states:

as far as a release goes, it probably won’t happen from me.

One would think then why even bother to show us pics of a JB, we all know that Geohot can do it, we were more concerned about when he was going to do it.

He goes on to say:

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.

So if George does ever release it, it won’t be called limea1n or pwned4life but it will be called something else. It seems that he may not have an expolit that can’t be patched either, as he says the “pwen for life” comment was about the iPhone, 3G, and Touch devices.

He then goes on to say:

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

We all know people are going to ask for a release date, its only human to want to know, and as he has already got it working it shouldn’t take him long to release it.

My opinion is that this is another ‘See I can do it” and ‘Give me some attention’ tactics from Geohot.

Let us know how you feel about this in the comments below.
