I assume this is a "userland" jailbreak which means like it'll be easy for Apple to patch

In the U.S. But Apple says it will still invalidate your warranty. Also note this is a rullingthat is only valid for three years, the the Librarian of the Congress will reevaluate.

IANAL, but IIRC in New Zealand it's not illegal to do it.

Actually thinking about it, there aren't too many reasons for me to jailbreak anymore. SB settings is pretty much it.

+1. The only reason I jailbreak is for SB Setting so I get fast access to Brightness and Push Notifications enable/disable (So I do not get email notifications in the middle of the night.)

Recursion: See recursion.

I've just managed to jailbreak my 3GS on 4.0 using jailbreakme.com

Could not be an easier process and seems totally fine so far. I rely on MyWi to share my iPhone data connection with other devices so jailbreak is pretty important.

Btw what does it say about the security of the iphone if a remote exploit like this can be used to jailbreak it? It's a bit of a concern.

Scary how easy it was, didnt even ask me to confirm if i wanted to do it.
My only concern is, who are these guys, it's not your normal jailbreak dev team, so what else are they installing in the background at the same time?

Anyhow, confirmed working

I'm pedantic about bricking the device.

You cant really brick them. You can simply do a restore should it cause issues.
