If it's a surprise whether it is tethered or not, then it's not. Why would you make show-stopping bad news a surprise?!

A tethered break for an iPhone is not worth anything.

Who wants to be out on vacation away from their computer and need to reboot your phone on the first day and as a result have a brick to carry around for the rest of your vacation? Or miss out on important business calls/messages until you can get back to your computer at the end of the day?

In other words, dev-team, don't bother releasing it if it's tethered.

well it depends, if you wana take the "all or none" road then yeah probably you shouldn't any do any jailbreak! And yet we are not sure whether it is tethered or not, but hey it's the only option you got, and you have nothing to lose at the end, instead of paying money for nonsense apps go buy yourself a charging kit for your car and you should be fine.... it's a matter of demand and why you need the jailbreak in the first place. I need it to be unlocked so i'm JB it no matter what....

i wonder if its going to be for mac or windows or both, though i have both mac and windows 7, i remember pwnage tool would always get released first and ppl would share modified ipsw's. probably wont be like that now though

glenn · Oct 8, 2010

as this is the first time dealing with the whole JB thing i have a question if you won't mind, what do you mean by "pwnage tool would always get released first and ppl would share modified ipsw's. probably wont be like that now though" why would you share firmwares with each other?

and another question that has been on my mind since forever!! Why can't we just erase everything on the iphone including the firmware and then installing whichever version of the firmware we need???!! like installing windows for example... your computer can come with windows 7 but you can format it and go back to windows xp! Why nobody has done this before with the iphone??
