iOS 4.0.1 has just been released by Apple for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G to fix the reception issues which has been problematic for most iPhone 4 users since its launch last month. iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G users who currently rely on an unlock MUST STAY from iOS 4.0.1 until any further notice.

Apple today has released iOS 3.2.1 for iPad to fix the WiFi issue which was reported back when iPad was launched.

iOS 4.1 Beta was seeded to developers yesterday. Since the iOS 4.1 is currently only jailbreakable on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (non-MC model), you may want to downgrade your other iOS based devices from iOS 4.1 so that you can jailbreak them on iOS 4, or iOS 3.1.3 / 3.1.2 (formerly iPhone 3.1.3 or 3.1.2).
The following step by step guide will help you rollback / downgrade to iOS 4, iPhone 3.1.3 and 3.1.2 from iOS 4.1 Beta as long as you have SHSH blobs saved for the respective firmwares for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPod touches.
Let me clear this upfront. This is strictly for iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) only. If your iPhone 3G relies on an unlock, DO NOT update to iOS 4.1 Beta now as the current version of ultrasn0w cannot unlock this new firmware.
If you have iPhone 3G (which doesn’t rely on an unlock), or an iPod touch 2G (non-MC model), then simply follow the guide posted to below jailbreak your device on iOS 4.1 Beta using Redsn0w.
The first Beta of iOS 4.1 has been released, and the good news is that Redsn0w 0.9.5b5-5 for both Windows and Mac is compatible with this version of iOS. Simply download the required iOS 4.1 firmware file for iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) and use Redsn0w to jailbreak it. This version of Redsn0w of course will work only on iPhone 3G and iPod touch 2G (non-MC model) only.
Apple has just released iOS 4.1 Beta, along with SDK for iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and iPod touches. This is for developers only. Only members enrolled in the iPhone Developer Standard or Enterprise Program can access these bits of by signing into Apple Developer Connection.
