An entire day before Greeopois0n is supposed to be released, geohot has publicly released limera1n. Limera1n will jailbreak iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, and iPod touch 4G on firmware 4.0-4.1.

Limera1n is completely untethered on all of these devices. This means that you don't need to run limera1n everytime you restart your device.

Limera1n is only supported on Windows OS. Lunix and Mac versions will be coming later. For more information on the jailbreak, visit the official site.

Update: Limera1n now supports Windows and Mac.

GeoHot going Full Force on Apple

GeoHot, the famous creator of Blackra1n, among many other jailbreaks, is moving full force on Apple's new software. The recently released iPad was shown by GeoHot running in verbose mode, a key sign that the iPad will be 'pwned for life.' Meaning that it will always be open for 3rd party modifications.

Two days later, GeoHot released images of iPod touch and iPhone OS firmware 4.0 jailbroken, which has not even been released to the public yet (now with homescreen background images allowed by Apple.)

More details are still to be released on the jailbreak for the iPad and OS 4.0.
