A famous iPhone hacker “Geohot” earlier posted teaser image showing Cydia running on a Jailbroken iPhone 4. But to my utter surprise, today Geohot admits that the image posted was completely fake and says that he is not going to release iPhone jailbreak and unlock tool in near future. Bummer! He said:
Sorry, this post was probably a bad idea. Next time I won’t say anything. I miss when this blog was actually about technical things(I’ve been reacting too much to the feedback, which led it to the place it’s in now). I didn’t fully realize most of the current scene don’t care unless they are getting something. Now I do. It’s late tonight, I’ll think about what to do about this in the morning.
The real reason behind no release isn’t technical. It’s just that it will never stop, after blackra1n, people demand unlock, after blacksn0w, people demand untethered. I miss the days when jailbreaking and unlocking were difficult, it attracted a much higher caliber crowd.Also, to the haters, the picture is quite obviously fake
We all know that Geohot has the skills and calibre to jailbreak and unlock iPhone 4 in no time but it seems that he wants to move on to capitalize his skills in other challenging projects.
Surprisingly, this afternoon, Geohot closed his Blog (iphonejtag.blogspot.com) to the Public which was the only way one could keep up to date on his jailbreak tools. You now need to be personally invited to his blog. Shortly after closing public viewing of his blog, he tweeted and urges to Follow @Mikecohenn for Jailbreak updates on Twitter.com/geohot
