The most vocal member of the iPhone Dev Team, MuscleNerd seems to be confirming that GeoHot already has a working untethered iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak solution but one that may not work for all iOS devices. This was discovered in a recent reply to a tweet sent out by a user named iPodguy79. We recently posted about a recent discovery of yet another domain dubbed “rubyra1n” by Geohot and this may be the name of his new jailbreak utility.

iPodguy 79 tweeted the following message to @sherif_hashim @MuscleNerd @iphone_dev @chpwn:

The much anticipated JailbreakMe 3.0 untethered jailbreak solution for users currently using iOS 4.2.1 may be delayed until further notice; this time dependent on the release of iOS 4.3. An Italian site recently contacted @Comex; the dev behind Spirit and JailbreakMe to ask him about his plans for releasing his untethered jailbreak tool for iOS 4.2.1.

This can be seen in the quick email and replying email address proof provided in the pic below.

Mimesign is a touchless gesture user interface for the iPad created by the Norway based company Ellipitic Labs. The technology that they’re developing will allow users to control and operate the iPad without having to make any actual contact with the device, much like the Kinect for Xbox 360. MobileMagazine reports that unlike the Kinect which uses cameras to capture the motions of the user, Mimesign is using ultrasound technology to try to accomplish the same effect. The one foot ultrasound field would be generated on either side of the docked iPad, allowing users to move their hands in More >
