Geohot has done it! The wonder-boy has managed to jailbreak the iPhone 4 on iOS 4 with Limera1n. The announcement was made by him on his official blog where he also cleared out some confusions and mis-conceptions about the Pwned4Life exploit.
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.
The note above clearly states that Pwned4Life is not an exploit for newer iPhone models rather it is a reference to the exploit found in the original iPhone, the iPhone 3G and the iPhone Touch 1G which means that these devices will always be jailbreakable and unlockable.
Geohot mentioned no release dates. However, on the other hand, we know that @Comex and the iPhone Dev team are working closely together to bring the jailbreak as well Ultrasn0w based unlock for iPhone 4 which shall be out pretty soon.
