i suspect the iphone version will be 4.0 and by the ipad version is released (apple did say this fall) we'll be up to 4.x. (4.01 or 4.1 or something similar). with each release apple closes up the holes the jailbreak team exploits. patience is definitely needed if you're going to be a jailbreaker.

i'm just trying to save the people who are new to the jailbreak scene some heartache and frustration in the future. you'll see after any new OS version is released a few dozen posts by people "i just updated and now i can't jailbreak, when will it be released!?!?!?!?!?!!?" and worse. the jailbreak team did not do a release for 3.1.3 because they did not feel it was worth giving up one of their exploits for, people who jumped from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 found themselves locked out until the spirit jailbreak was released, and they were lucky that it was. it would not have been were it not for the ipad's release.

the dev team does their work out of the kindness of their hearts and their desire to hack apple's devices, they do not get paid for their efforts (which is illegal in the US). it is amazing how poorly they are treated some times, just read some of the postings people put on their blog. or how their efforts are copied and then sold for profit by scam artists.
