Greenpois0n Delayed Because Of Limera1n Release [jailbreak]
The Dev-Team decided to delay the release of Greenpois0n because GeoHot just released Limera1n one day before the Dev-Team decided to release Greenpois0n. They delay the release of Greenpois0n because they don’t want to use the Shatter exploit anymore, but instead they will use the same exploit as GeoHot uses in Limera1n. They do this because they hope this way the SHAtter exploit “which only can be used for the A4 chip” can be used for the next gen iDevices as well.
Thanks to the irresponsible antics of geohot, we will have to delay the release of greenpois0n (new ETA = as soon as possible), so that we have time to clean up his little mess and integrate the exploit he uses in limera1n into greenpois0n. This way, we can save SHAtter for future devices that may still be vulnerable to it.
We know that this is not what some people want to hear, but due to geohot needing to feed his ego (as usual) and revealing his limera1n exploit, we do not have any other responsible options.

I not really understand this as the shatter exploit is a chip exploit and from what I gather is a jailbreak for the life of that iPhone. So why does it matter that limera1n has used a different exploit .?
