GeoHot has updated his blog post with some bad news. I’m not going to attempt to paraphrase it so you can read the update as written by GeoHot after the break.
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
So the iPhone 4 jailbreak image was fake. At least he admits it was wrong for him to post the fake picture. But it seems this is the last we will see of GeoHot in the iPhone/iPod Touch community.
Don’t fret though, GeoHot’s departure shouldn’t affect the jailbreaking community that much. We still have the wonderful Dev Team and Comex who are working on an iPhone 4 Spirit-like jailbreak as we speak.

you guys are idiots the iphone 4 was not what he was refering to when he said to all the haters the picture is obviously fake he was refering to the streetskaterforyou ps3 theme exploit that when loaded shows a fake pic of geohot. Its funny how you can write whatever you want online because you don’t know better and people acually belive you.
to psp2468 your a journalist research what you write or only write about what you know you moron.
I disagree. Take a look at these websites which all agree with what I say (all from quickly Googling ‘iPhone 4 jailbreak GeoHot fake):
