Geohot Over and Out

A few days ago i mentioned that Geohot had managed to Jailbreak his iPhone however he wouldn’t be releasing this to the public anytime soon. Now it looks more bleak than ever as Geohot officially said the following:

“it was a cool ride, and i’ve learned a lot about a lot. perhaps one of these days i’ll do a more formal goodbye.”

that was posted on his twitter account which has now been closed to the public. it seems that the pressure has become to much and the little genius is now exhausted from all the demand and abuse that the public seems to be dishing outwards him. although in my opinion if you are going to tease the public like he has done he was bound to get lots of interest and hassled like there was no tomorrow.

Before his Twitter post, he posted a quick update to his blog stating the following:

“Sorry, this post was probably a bad idea. Next time I won’t say anything. I miss when this blog was actually about technical things(I’ve been reacting too much to the feedback, which led it to the place it’s in now). I didn’t fully realize most of the current scene don’t care unless they are getting something. Now I do. It’s late tonight, I’ll think about what to do about this in the morning.

The real reason behind no release isn’t technical. It’s just that it will never stop, after blackra1n, people demand unlock, after blacksn0w, people demand untethered. I miss the days when jailbreaking and unlocking were difficult, it attracted a much higher caliber crowd. Also, to the haters, the picture is quite obviously fake”

The last thing Geohot said was “Please follow my good friend @mikecohenn for all future jailbreak updates” so don’t think just cause one hacker is gone that the whole game ends. there are plenty of great hackers out there a few have just confirmed that they have Jailbroken and Unlocked the iPhone 4.

So fairwell Geohot and thank you for all you have done.

Whats your opinions on Geohot leaving the Scene?
