Comex saves untethered Jailbreak for iOS 4.3

Yeah I'm running iP4 4.2.1 tethered jb, and Activator is working fine for me. I have no need for Bite, though, so I dunno about the whole text-message-causing-it-to-crash thing.

After reading the article, it seems to me that "Comex saves untethered Jailbreak for iOS 4.3" is a false conclusion. Comex was asked whether the jailbreak will be ready for 4.2.1 or 4.3 and his reply was "Depends when 4.3 is out."

So how can one conclude that he's waiting for 4.3 when he clears says that it depends?

Might as well wait for the next release anyway at this point.

I dont think it really matters anymore as Geohot is supposedly going to release his untethered JB for 4.2.1.

I wish he'd hurry. Tethered is okay for now, but I wanna be able to reboot without my laptop lol

He said it would be ready for Christmas. He just didn't say which year for Christmas.

I'm guessing that this jailbreak is an exceptionally difficult one, or perhaps the dev team is simply getting burned out on putting in the long hours necessary to circumvent Apple's code. Dev Team updates are few and far between except for the beta thing I see on twitter once in awhile. They're tight lipped about this for some reason.

What I find fascinating is that there only two people in the world (Comex and GetHot) that are clever enough to jailbreak iphones. Or is it because they're the only two with enough time on their hands? For years there have been dozens (hundreds?) of software crackers, but far less who can crack the iPhone.

In any event, I am grateful for their hard work.
