It has, and it would have been released already, but Apple is updating their OS to "fix" some issues, but we all know they are using that to patch these exploits.

So the dev team have 2 choices.

1. Release right away, and have it get patched weeks later
2. Wait 1 week - month for Apple to update and fix the issues, then release.

There are already 2 jailbreak programs available, Geohots full jailbreak, or the dev teams userland jailbreak.

The userland jailbreak is most likely to get released first, and then when its patched, Geohot will release his.]]>Jul 10th 2010 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/Jul 10th 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/

I think its because all of his programs are so easy, and when he announces a jailbreak, its released just weeks later, and thats always predictable.

Totally.

I didn't update my PS3 in hopes for this hack for a long time. I needed linux and was depending on geohot.

True, but if you have followed him (geohot) ever since hes been known, that IS the type of person he really is. ]]>Jul 11th 2010 4:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/I'm really waiting for this , but geohot remains quiet]]>Jul 10th 2010 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/
I guess he is being quiet is because his name is now widely out in the open, enough so that he can be a target of companies and the legal system. See Geo cant be sued for hacking his own devices, but if a name is attached to a hack that is given out to the masses then the companies can sue to get compensation for fixing the problem a person willfully handed out.

This maybe why he has not posted much of anything of what hacks he has done on the iph4 and ps3. The companies know who he is and where he is so the companies can say if you cause harm then the companies can ask the courts for compensation for the problem caused by geo. Its like how Dark Alex no longer supplies any hacking info for the psp's. Sony found out who he is and where to find him and said if he did anything else they would take him to court to ask for compensation for the problems incured from the hacking information he gave out.

Sometimes it takes time to hunt down the ppl involved and locate where they are and depending on the situation the company can see if its more cost effective to just ban ppl from the xbox service to the point where the customer has to rebuy everything to get back onto the service or just sue the company. OR both where the company gets money from selling new systems and at the same time building up a case to use agenst the team to the point of adding up how much damages that team has made and how much MS wants to be compensated (wich might be a amount where the team cannot recover from).

Its not always a fast process.]]>Jul 10th 2010 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/Jul 10th 2010 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/do you need a new keyboard?]]>Jul 10th 2010 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/Jul 10th 2010 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/
My logic is not flawed. Like as you pointed out Geo is in class and is about to Graduate. Now if geo wants to get a good job with a company would it be wise of him to post alot of hacked information to the internet at this time. Would a company hire him if they feel that what ever product geo helps make will end up having hacked info posted on the internet or any product that company makes somehow has hacked info put on the internet.

As for Geo not openly posting what he has done but not giving the details is one way to cover himself from being sued. So go read up on the law and look things through. A person has the right to hack their own property (as in hardware), but if a hack is disruptive and posted out in the open for the masses to use, then the company can sue the person that was responsable for putting out the hack, as in compensation for fixing the problem.

As for Geo i dont think he will be posting to many details any time soon because the companies know who he is and can supply proof in court that he was the one responsable for damages that might occure.]]>Jul 10th 2010 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/Jul 10th 2010 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/10/geohot-teases-iphone-4-jailbreak-no-plans-for-release/Sorry to break the news.

When he released an arbitrary-code hack for the PS3, it lead to Sony making things quantifiably worse for people who owned the original PS3, so that probably leaves a bad taste in your mouth when people start blaming you for that. Besides, it's not like he promised to give this out or in some way owes you anything.]]>Jul 10th 2010 11:39AM
