Geohot has updated his super simple jailbreaking tool called blackra1n to work with iPhone OS 4.0 . Although the official 4.0 Software hasn’t been released by Apple, George is just proving to people that he is still on top of his game. This updated version of Blackra1n has not been released and Geohot probably won’t release it until the iPad 3G version hits the shelves or maybe even late summer when the official OS 4.0 is released.
