the dev team just dropped the public jailbreak!

go to http://jailbreakme.com on your iphone/ipod touch/ipad, slide the bar, nd wait about 3 min, and bam, cydia is added to your home screen!

i have a couple questions about jailbreaking

1) can you still download apps from the app store?

2) can you update the software with a jailbroken phone?

1) yes

2) no because jailbreak is for that software in particular, BUT, you can restore your phone and update it and then jailbreak it again.

ios4 users, do NOT use aptBackup to restore all your jailbreak apps! I just did it, and one of the apps definitely doesnt work with ios4 and is crashing my springboard, so now i have to uninstall em all until I find the culprit anyways.

give it a few days, to avoid having the JB leaked the dev team didn't send it to any other developers so today is the first time theyve had it, in the next few days many of the apps will staart being 4.0 compatible and that is when you'll start doing all the tweaking

go to cydia and search winterboard. once you download that it comes with a few layouts and then you can also download more layout from cydia for it

No, but you can pee on your phone, restore it, and then get a new one for free I guess.

You need to find gba_bios.bin on the internet and put it in the folder where all your GBA ROMs are. They can't distribute it with the app because it's copyrighted Nintendo code. As a side note, the emulators run great on iPhone 4, even the N64. Mario Kart 64 runs great with the frameskip at 2 (it barely ran on older devices).

do you know where i could find a tutorial for this? the one i did is where you add the source "apt.123locker.com" and add gba BIOS from that and then the pokemon pack and then gpsPHONE. that didnt work out too well though
