iPhone Techie

Couple of days ago I wrote and article on our boy George Hotz (a.k.a. GeoHot) talking about how he had Jailbroken his new iPhone 4 on the same day it was delivered… Well it was not true and the picture in that post (By GeoHot) is a FAKE…

Well today Geohot has shut down his (iphonejtag.blogspot.com) iPhone blog he used to announce and release jailbreaks over the past few years.

If you visit his blog (iphonejtag.blogspot.com) you will see this message, “This blog is open to invited readers only”.

Here is his last update before his blog was shut down/switched to private:

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

Oh well… Life must go on and “EgoHot” will not be missed.
