iPhone 4 models running iOS versions 4.1 or above continue to be unlockable - hardware unlock kits ( Gevey ) appear to be the only solution for now. Hopefully with the recent release of iOS version 5 the hackers have an unlock solution for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S ( as well as the 3GS ).
Just released last night was a semi-tether jailbreak for iOS 5, with an update released today. This will allow you to jailbreak your device ( running iOS 5 ) and still be able to use it, with limited function, after an accidental restart. You can make calls, texts, etc. ( the important stuff ) but some functionality will be missing ( mail app, Safari, etc. ) until you can get to a PC and re-run the jailbreak program to perform a "boot tethered" operation.
This semi-tether jailbreak seems to be a good compromise for those wishing to run iOS 5 on your iPhone and have it jailbroken. Currently it has only been tested on an iPhone 4 but more testing ( and other updating ) is planned for this week.
That's it for now.
