Might be out in a week (a guess though)
If, and only if, Comex can get it to work, which might never happen.
Like I said: relax! I just asked wondering there would be an ETA or something like at first it was Christmas. So since no one knows, I get the point, now take your pill and chill! No point in barking about it over and over again, I get it.
Hey guys, I know everyone is excited, but lets dial the tension down a notch
It would be a shame to lose the thread because people keep popping off
Just give your info or ask your questions without taking it too personally

Thanks, but I don't use Twitter. I get my info from forums where people unlike yourself, share info with each other and respect genuine questions. Maybe you should make a separate forum where people are not allowed to post anything unless you give the permission to do so, seems suitable to a person like you. Thankfully, others in this forum are helpful so I will make sure and put you in my ignore list.
The more you keep ranting it makes your point less and less valid.
I'm a person for example that on every forum I go to seldom asks questions unless it's something valid that I already searched for and couldn't find the answer.
However, because of responses like your's I end up clicking into a billion threads say "topic x" "50 replies, 1000 views." Question I was wondering, then 50 replies going back and forth saying "search," "etc.." In essence responding to a thread like that is just as worse than not responding at all. If I see a post in search with 50 replies and I see another where it was just a "dumb" question with 0 replies, chances are I'd skip over the 0 reply thread. So I spend extra time searching through all these bumped off topic threads.
To answer your original question. I learned what the iP4 would look like on MR, I learned what the current and last model Mac Mini would look like on MR. I learned that the beatles were coming to itunes on MR. Point without making this longer than needed. I learned the iPhone could be jailbroken in general on MR. If I'm not mistaken I think I learned there would first be a color ipod on MR or maybe it was video. Since I joined this site I learned a lot of information because it was publicly available, and your question pretty much is like saying how could MR have any rumor information. Lighten up and realize the site you're on.
can we get back on topic please! these fights don't really help the forum. Like somebody asking when something is going to be released is shocking. Comex has been very quiet since he said he is not going to make the Christmas deadline. still hoping soon!
1+ on that one along with the Dev-team! for those that don't have twitter accts I don't know how havimg a twitter is any different from being on a forum. you don't have to tweet anything. you are just getting it from the horses mouth.
meh, I am all done with updating my phone. I had 4.2 on my 16gb which i regretting putting it on there a couple days after i realized a JB would not be released for a couple months. I ended up getting a new 32GB that had 4.1 on it, at least I can sell it unlocked now in about 6 months for a couple hundred more.
Can someone please explain to me why people are asking for 4.2.1beta3 blobs?
I thought each device was blob specific, as in you can't use another persons blobs other than your own.
I'm in the boat where I missed the cut off to save my beta 3 and only have 4.2.1 blobs saved, so I have to wait for Comex's method or maybe if I'm lucky Geo-snot will come out of the shadows and make one for people without beta 3.
I don't think I'd be computer savy enough to figure out how to use another blob just wondering why someone would want to, or how it's even possible?
THanks.

Hey, Mike, you work for me for a few months, for free. If my house isn't built in the timeline you gave me, boy will you learn a lesson.
These guys do this for free, so literally the jailbreaking world is theirs, we just live in it. If he misses the deadline by 3 months that's his right.
If you clicked the link, it reads,
...MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev Team has also confirmed the untethered jailbreak will be out by Christmas Weekend.
In case you didn't know, MuscleNerd and comex are not the same thing.
You are right, you can't use anothers blobs. They are probably just getting the terms wrong and really are asking for the developer b3 ipsw file.
I think Comex is pretty smart at that and doesnt say anything unless he is almost ready...my guess is he came across an unforeseen obstacle/glitch what ever you wanna call it that caused a little bit of a delay...i doubt he throws out deadlines on a whim and I would imagine a jailbreak cant be far away if there was a time he felt he was almost done not too long ago. Sure for him its probably better to not say anything, but I trust his judgment, everyone makes mistakes, even masters in their field of expertise.
I would think Applejuiced knows that....he's one of the most informed people on this site!
Remember how long the iPhone 3GS untethered jailbreak took? Like seven months!
For now, just keep your USB fob around with the ipsw, redsnow, and your usb cable to boot tethered.
I think it's gonna be a long time.
