he says:
"therefore, it is probably better not to release on Friday. (ugh, drama)"
But it's not clear what the 'therefore' is in response to since his previous tweet references a year-old blog article. (I hate twitter.)
Interestingly, though, there's another one further down where he says:
"9.1.1 should be fine. though I didn't test it yet"
(I assume that means iTunes 9.1.1)
Edit: He also deleted the infamous tweet that said "Friday".
Nothing to see here, I guess.

really hoping this is just a fakeout, and he brings it. if its ready to go, why not be the first to drop it??!!
i really need to JB my ipad!

No, Redsnow or anything out there doesnt JB an iphone 3GS on stock 3.1.3
If you're already JB you can use pwnage to create a custom 3.1.3 and then restore to that thru itunes.
Probably
Rethought it and decided to wait till 4.0 release. Only about 5 more weeks any way. If they release it now apple finds the exploit as well and fixes it in 4.0. This way hopefully jb will be out soon after 4.0 is releases. Still be allot of software to be updated in cydia as well.

i would say release it!! im sure they will find another exploit if apple patches this one...gotta get the ipads JB!!
I think it is just a convenience and it would be much better to wait. Finding an exploit isn't so easy.
New Dev team post, http://blog.iphone-dev.org/. Awww no unlock.
I thought Geohot and Dev Team were sitting on two more apart from Spirit? I think 4.0 will be covered regardless of Spirit.
He said it just like blackra1n, only not black. I'm going to take a guess and say limra1n, but I'm probably wayy ooooofffff.!!!!!
Hopefully yes...
Musclenerd Tweet;
Done lots of testing of both backups *and* restores using FW Umbrella (Windows+OSX) and saurik's server. Both are solid.
I know there hasn't been a date specified as yet, but is there a likelihood it will be over the course of this weekend? Just desperate to have my phone jailbroken again after my 3.1.2 jailbreak screwed up. Only this time I have a useful shsh, I bought my phone too late for the 3.1.2 shsh deadline
to put it simply
I'd sat a doubtful you will see a JB this weekend. Sorry I think when all is said and done it will be when 4.0 is officially released, I could be wrong but that's logical. most of us don't how many hours it took to find the spirit exploit along with the others.

That would be the smart thing to do but of course He will release it before that I don't really care because I have a 3g. But the only reason I would like to see this jailbreak to come out would be for the ipad. I want to see what interesting things developer's can do with the ipad and will there be anything different.
O.k.
don't get me wrong,what these guys do I could not,I do have the utmost respect. that being said. I am a chronic news report reader to a fault. Could someone please correct me if I am wrong or if there is something I don't understand. A few months ago one of the hackers at a pawn to own comp. Remarked he had found in the upwards of 30+ exploits or weaknesses in the safari O.S. Alone( not all may be poss. Jailbreak uses). doesn't this mean others could know about all types of exploits that still pertain to all recent and potentially new products? I am not certain but I am pretty sure later that same " hacker" , and that word I use loosely(I believe he was an retired government computer specialist that's job was to look for weaknesses in government computers) divulged a lot of these to Apple at their request. this being said... Would It not be smart to start to use each jailbreak when possible? Or at least when there are multiple options, use one.I mean it will be 4 months since 3.1.3(if released in June) and apple not signing old F.W. the excuse that only stupid people that updated are affected no longer holds water then.(Geohot)& If this spirit J.b. Is user land than it presents a security risk in apples eyes to unjailbroken phones as well. And to assume that Apple does not know and are not in the process of fixing this may Render this exploit useless if left unused before 4.0. What is there to loose, if apple corrects it 1 day after it would of happened that way anyway. After the initial release of the iPad 3G the next shipment date is may 7. And just like the wifi models will trickle out of Cupertino slowly afterwards. As a user land J.B. Apple may fix this quickly but don't allow them to just incorporate it int this next big O.S. Overhaul. Make them work for the hard earned cash they ask for there products. Keep Apple chasing these J.B.s. Once you are playing catchup it's hard to gain ground. An Apple product with no jailbreak to someone that needs it may be almost half the life cycle to a avid updater of tech. Gear.( Apple updates iPhone models each year) SHSH file saving are now more common place, and now If you don't have it saved it is your fault. No matter what, like I said, I have much respect for these guys and there abilities. And I do say thanks.....I have supported them in the past and will do so for a very long time. Whenever they decide is right to release.
