[UPDATE: Fake] Geohot to release untethered Limera1n for iOS 4.2.1 / 4.3 and Limesn0w to Unlock iPhone 4?

[UPDATE: This is fake. Check e-mail reply from Geohot]

Last time, we heard from Geohot in October 2010, when he released Limera1n to jailbreak iOS 4.1.

Vincent (@veeence) was lucky enough to have an interesting chat with the iPhone hacker Geohot via IRC. They talked about the Sony lawsuit, the jailbreak and unlock for all iOS devices running iOS 4.2.1. @veeence tweeted the following, but he has deleted the tweet now, as the person claiming to be Geohot may not be legitimate.

But, here’s a copy of the interview that you can read.

Veeence: are u the real geohot?

Geohot is always full of surprises. Let’s see if this comes out to be real.
