Well the wait is over – iPhone 4 Jailbreak is out!.
Comex and other members of the iphone Dev-Team have released the newest iDevice Jailbreak.
JailbreakMe 2.0 Star is the name! – The userland jailbreak for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, 3G on iOS 4 / 4.0.1, iPod touch on iOS 4, and iPad on iOS 3.2.1 is out !!. It is a browser based jailbreak, all you have to do is to browse to http://jailbreakme.com from your iOS device to jailbreak it.
Yes you read that right, no need to plug your device in to a computer, go ahead and jailbreak your phone while you wait in line at Starbucks!
Once the process completes (took about 3 minutes on my 15mbps wifi connection at home) you will have Cydia on your homescreen all ready to install your favorite jailbreak apps!
There is one warning floating around right now and that is to update your iPhone 4 to iOS 4.01 before jailbreaking to avoid Facetime and MMS issues. And to play it extra safe, restore your iphone from a backup in itunes once you have finished the jailbreak.

Step by Step Instructions:
Step 1: Start iTunes and backup everything from Contacts, Calendars, Photos, Videos and Apps.
Step 2: Update your iPhone 4, 3GS or iPhone 3G on the latest iOS 4.0.1 firmware with iTunes. Download links for the firmware and iTunes 9.2.1 can be found below.
Step 3: Once you are done with the update, make sure you are connected to a WiFi network. I haven’t tested it on 3G so I recommend using it on a reliable WiFi network.
Step 4: Open Safari on your iPhone 4, 3GS or 3G and navigate to http://jailbreakme.com.
Step 5: “Slide to Jailbreak” to begin the jailbreak process.
Step 6: Wait till the jailbreak tool download the required files.
Step 7: Once the download is completed, it will automatically start the jailbreak process. Just don’t do anything silly at this point. Wait till the jailbreak process is completed.
Step 8: Once done, you will be greeted with the following message: Cydia has been added to your home screen. Have fun!
Step 9: Close the browser and look for Cydia. You should now have it on your phone!
