The good news : this weekend a jailbreak for 4.1 iOS firmware will be released
The bad news : this jailbreak will only work for the iPhone 4, iPad, iPod Touch 4, and AppleTV 2. Nothing for the 3GS ( note that there is already a jailbreak for the 3G on 4.1 iOS firmware )
More bad news : there is NO mention of an unlock to accompany the 4.1 firmware
Not so bad news : if your iPhone 4 is on iOS 4.02, DO NOT upgrade to 4.1. It will eventually be possible ( once a tool is upgraded ) to upgrade to 4.1 a "special way" so that the unlockability that comes with 4.0.2 iOS will be carried over to this "special" 4.1 upgrade. I imagine that this also applies to iOS versions 4.0 and 4.0.1.
Hope for the 3GS : work is in progress for a 4.1 iOS jailbreak that will work for 3GS iPhones.
So, unlock-wise, not the greatest news if you are on 4.1 iOS. For any other firmware version, stay on it and DO NOT upgrade to 4.1 - this is the best hope if you need an unlock.
