iPhone OS 4.0b1 jailbreak available -- for devs only

The fine folks behind redsn0w have released the second beta of a jailbroken iPhone OS 4 -- redsn0w 0.9.5b2. Right now the beta only works on the iPhone 3G and does not support carrier unlocking. The devs are quick to point out that in no way is this jailbreak targeted at the average end-user.

Many jailbroken apps are currently broken in the iPhone OS 4.0beta1 environment and this redsn0w release is intended to help get their jailbroken apps up to working order in the new iPhone OS. For those hoping to get iPhone OS 4 on their iPads early, the devs of redsn0w politely point out that this jailbreak is not applicable to the iPad -- sorry iPad owners!

I can confirm however that this does work (as a normal jailbreak) and Saurik's own source needs to be added before Cydia works correctly.

But by using this multitasking can be added to a 3G using openSSH as well as adding wallpapers to the homescreen.

Multitasking works decently (only can test it with the on board apps from Apple) but clearly not allowing it on the 3G is nothing more than a money grab from apple.

Too bad nobody uses the iPhone 3G too much any more.

This would be a good time to sell it to Apple ...

Someone please develop a tweak to add more than 12 apps to folders. I would love that.

You are all late to this JB party. I knew it and read about it months ago and thus better-than-you-more-l33t-than-you....

Right level of intellect, kids?

This also does not support hacktivation, so the typical jailbreaker should definitely avoid this.
