Let's get the hopes up! Comex, the well know iPhone hacker behind Spirit untethered jailbreak and JailbreakMe userland jailbreak has commented on GreenPois0n status (i.e. tethered, untethered). The conversion started between him and somebody asking him about his userland jailbreak for iOS 4.1, Comex replied saying that he will not release iOS 4.1 jailbreak. So, another guy asked him, what will users do if the jailbreak from chronic-dev is tethered. The answer was interesting!
Haywood Jablomi asks comex about the tethered status:
@comex What if the chronic-dev team's JB for 4.1 is tethered?
Comex replying him:@xjerky Don't worry.
Of course this is not a confirm if it's tethered or untethered jailbreak, but at least it makes people more comfortable by using the word "Don't worry", so for all users who are worried about the jailbreak being tethered, just ask comex said don't worry. Of course, we will keep you informed about any updates.
