GeoHot is a iPhone hacker mostly known as the creator of Blackra1n and Blacksn0w. Most of the time he is the first hacker that comes with a jailbreak solution for the next OS or iDevice. He also wrote on his blog a view days ago that he managed to jailbreak the iPhone 4. Unfortunately today there is some bad news, GeoHot is leaving the jailbreaking world! His blog has now been closed to the public and his twitter account has been removed. He did this pretty fast after his last update on his blog where he was talking about all the haters and the people that keep complaining. Blog post 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.
Goodbye GeoHot.

I’ll be the 1st to say what many have been thinking. Good riddance! Yes he may be intellectually superior to several of us but to be frank his demeanor as of late has been pompous and schrude. You are not the only one to have come up with a method of jailbreaking and you won’t be the last.
