Geohot Pulls Out of iPhone Jailbreak & Unlock, Locks his Blog!
A few days ago, Geohot was bragging about his iPhone 4 jailbreak success in a blog post. Along with this, he asked those waiting to unlock and jailbreak iOS 4 on iPhone 4 not to expect a release from him soon. But something strange happened this morning when i saw the update on his blog. He has pulled out of the jailbreaking and unlocking scene, due to some non technical reasons!
Continuing from here, this is what his update on previous post says:
…
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 reasons for the strange behaviour of Geohot are still not clear, though he himself has specified it to be a non-technical one. The blog was available yesterday, but on rechecking, I noticed that it has been locked and only those with invitations only can view his blog. Here’s the screenshot:
