White iPhone 4 Unboxing… (Maybe)
As far as most of us know.... the white iPhone 4 has yet to be released. This guy was either fortunate enough to get his hands on one or clever enough to create a very convincing fake.
12 Days Later…
It's done... and released.
Comex has released his jailbreak for all iOS 4 devices including the iPhone 4. He tweeted a link to http://www.jailbreakme.com moments ago.
Unfortunately, the servers were immediately slammed and have gone down. We will let you know as soon as they are up. We will also have tutorials on how to use the jailbreak as soon as it can be downloaded.
Once you have jailbreak on your iPhone on iOS 4 you will be able to unlock it using UltraSn0w.
Congratulations to comex and the iPhone Dev-Team for making this happen.
And here is a mirror just in case...

No Free Bumpers!
More disappointment from Apple...
BGR appears to have nabbed a document being distributed by Apple corporate to AppleCare reps tasked with handling iPhone 4 customers miffed with the antenna performance fiasco -- and for the time being, the recommendations are focusing on managing expectations, not fixing the problem. In a nutshell, reps are being instructed to pass on a more politically correct version of Steve's email by telling customers that they should "avoid covering the black strip in the lower-left corner of the metal band." Interestingly, they agree that bumpers might fix the problem, but they're emphatic in saying that they "ARE NOT appeasing customers with free bumpers – DON'T promise a free bumper to customers." And yes, that statement is complete with caps and bold in the source document, so they mean business, it would seem. If it's any consolation, Apple says that "the iPhone 4's wireless performance is the best [they] have ever shipped," but let's be honest: for those zapping their calls into the afterlife every time they brush their phone the wrong way, it's not much consolation at all.
iPhone 4 Jailbroken!
Woot... can't wait to get this out so I can update my 3GS. =)
Planetbeing has successfully jailbroken the iPhone 4 using comex's userland jailbreak code!
Think I'm the first one I know about to get a root shell (and SSH) on iPhone 4, using poor @comex's code (since he has no iPhone 4).
Below you can see a high resolution screenshot of Cydia that MuscleNerd posted in a congratulations tweet to both hackers.
Congrats to @comex for another userland JB http://is.gd/d5N6I hi-res Cydia via @planetbeing & @chpwn iPhone4s
Update:
Unfortunately, p0sixninja says that this jailbreak cannot be released publicly as it contains some of Apple's software.the jailbreak shown is a more of a stepping stone for us, it can't be released because it includes some of apples software
Planetbeing has confirmed this saying: Don't want to speak for @comex, but afaik no one has breathed a word about release date and what we have right now is nowhere ready.

Has Apple Done it Again?
I'm sure most of you have heard... Apple's iPhone 4 has officially been announced. Security was pretty tight so coverage of this year's WWDC was very limited. Not as many video's as last year. I'll link what I can and hopefully the information that is available will help you in deciding whether or not this unit is for you.
