For readers who do not know what jailbreaking is, it's a method that allows users root access to the operating system of the phone. Jailbreaking opens up applications to be downloaded and installed that are otherwise unavailable through the Marketplace or App Store. While there are many upsides to doing this on your phone, there is one downsides.
The biggest downside to jailbreaking your phone is the possibility that it will brick your phone. Which does exactly what it sounds like it would do, makes your phone as usable as a brick. This essentially renders your phone completely useless and you would have to go through the restoring process that is required depending upon which type of phone you have.
The jailbreaking tool ultrasn0w will soon be released, it jailbreaks iOS 4.2.1. The tool isn't ready to work on the iPhone 4, but it will work on the iPhone 3G and 3GS. If you're interested in jailbreaking your phone, make sure to keep a look out for the new ultrasn0w to be released sometime in the very near future.
