GeoHot’s back to the office and has published two new and interesting Tweets. Both concern blackra1n, and particularly to informed us of all the things that are missing and all devices that is now supported. Let’s see what’s missing:

• Support iPod Touch 3G;
• Hacktivation (for iPhone EDGE iPhone 3G/3GS in Italy or abroad);
• The resolution of a bug on kernelcache;
• Finalization of the final

For the last 2 days… this is what blackra1n supports:

• The iPhone 2G (for use with AT & T in America);
• The iPod Touch 1G;
• The iPhone 3G;
• The iPod Touch 2G;
• Switch to iTunesmobiledevice
• Blackra1n Application for iPhone (able to download Cydia)
• Stability

Please get on the 3GS That’s what I’m looking for.

Note: The list is not the iPhone but in many 3GS Tweet GeoHot said bladra1n the support that the native firmware 3.1 is vulnerable and that his hack works on 3.1.2 so it is fairly secure and under understood.

Update 1: The Chronic DevTeam asked if the GeoHot Jailbreak iPod Touch 3G will be of tethered or untethered and he said that for now this is the second method because his little problem with a library is not yet resolved.

Update 2: As I told you, GeoHot specify the blackra1n also supports the iPhone 3GS:

Update 3: GeoHot Has Dropped Ipod Touch 3rd Gen Support as it is not vulnerable
