Hah I know right? If Apple had been competent they would have rushed something out instead of making sure it worked properly first.....

I think the wife will wait. She quite likes her jailbroken 3g.
I suppose the hunt is on for the next exploit?

Bummer, but my fine motor skills are improving as I have to hold the phone at a perfect distance from my face - not too close to unintentionally activate buttons or too far so I can't hear.
Everyone who doesn't upgrade deserve whatever happens next in regards to this vulnerability. Remote root exploits should be plugged ASAP by anyone who values their computing experience.
Next ? If I was in the process of writing malicious code, I'd be thrilled jailbreakme.com put such a stigma around fixing this one. Look at this thread... All the work is already done, all that it needs now is a nasty payload.

I agree. It's just quite disappointing that as a user of a 1st gen iPT, I WANT to upgrade, however I cannot.
The hole is much more than a jailbreaking hole. It's a "run whatever we want on your phone without you knowing" hole. That it happened to be used for jailbreaking is a side issue.
I finally got my jailbroken iPad just the way I want it. I'm net letting Apple screw up all my work again. My next iOS upgrade is gonna be to iOS 4.x or whatever it will be when it is released for the iPad.
Starting to wonder if they are going to ignore the proximity sensor issues. Maybe it's the hardware, not the software? Wouldn't THAT be something - another hardware failure that they need to find a way to make it seem like its the customers fault. ...
Not everyone has the iPhone 4. Apple is thinking about everyone (excluding gen 1 devices), not just the latest.
Or, the fix could be coming in 4.1. There's still time before it's officially released.
Pass...
As the proud owner of a jailbroken iPhone 4, I will pass on this minor fix. And I will pass of 4.1 until there is a viable JB option.

Can't believe that people are voting this as negative on the front page. Must be the same people who'd cry and bitch if the exploit was used for nefarious reasons.
The fixes are in 4.1, it is widely known that there in 4.1, which is in beta this is a small, highly specific fix.
I've not seen a "Does it fix the antenna?" post yet so somethings not right here.
You have your nerve. You're a mere whatever but certainly not an Apple engineer.
Must be great, at least in your own mind, to sit back and criticize something of this nature.
Besides, what is more stupid than you jailbreakers heading to a JB website to download code into your device without knowing who the hell the people are behind it. Suckers comes to mind.
