Well, since then, Apple and the team iPhone-dev have left to run to the other. Whenever Apple releases a new firmware, generally set by the specific achievements were found by the team and jailbroken iPhones force again in the "listen" state within your code. As In Overall, just after the iPhone-dev team is more exploits in the new code and believe once again beautiful escape from the fever. And he will dance.
