Greenpois0n, Chronic dev’s jailbreak tool is out. You can download it for both windows and mac (mac download coming soon). This is an alternative to Geohot’s release of Limera1n. If you already used Geohot’s tool you do not need to do anything else. If you are not jailbroken yet, you can choose which to use.

If you are getting host unreachable errors while trying to install pay packages, these are caused by Cydiastore payment check and need to be addressed by Saurik. It is not something I can solve on my end and (most importantly) my repo is not down. You get an error message like “apt.thebigboss.org host unreachable”. But the issue is that the cydiastore check times out.

Currently, Saurik is out of town on a conference so this may not be solved for a couple days.

Geohot just released Limera1n. This is an iphone 4.1 jailbreak for all devices.  From Geohot:

iPicMyContacts will extend Apples contacts/favorites list by adding the contact picture next to the contact name. because iPicMyContacts integrates with Apples inner contacts list, it will also work on every application that uses Apples default contacts lists.

Late Friday the news was made official and quite large news it was; Cydia owns Rock

This will mean different things for different people, but we feel it is a great move for the jailbreak community
