Is there any doubt in your mind that after it is actually released that it won't be cracked in less than a day?

That is nice to know. I just jailbroke my iPhone and my wife's Palm Pre so we could tether our ipads to them...... Works great....

Actually it took them more than a day to crack 3.0. Don't think Apple isn't getting smarter in all of this. While the 3.x series is broken pretty quickly, I expect 4.0, when finally released, to take a while. But I'll happily eat my words if this isn't the case.

Do you want any salt or pepper on those words?

when you look back at when 3.x was released. it took them a few weeks to jailbreak that and there were plenty of people crying and whining for them to work faster. you have to remember people do this as a hobby, don't get paid, don't ask or want money for it, and in some countries (like the US) it's illegal to be conducting this kind of work (thank the DCMA for that).
for those interested in following here are the two main sites for people working on jailbreak efforts http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ - dev team blog http://blackra1n.com/ - geohot's blackweather site |

I agree, there likely won't be a released jailbreak for 4.0 for at least a week after 4.0 is out. Also, I hope there isn't one until iPad 4.0 (or more likely, 4.1) is out. Otherwise it'll likely be fixed before iPad users get a chance at it.

Is there any way to install the beta? Preferably without paying the $99?

Nope, you need to be a registered developer, or know one who would let you use his account. Expect a lot of your existing apps to not work, and reports are that it is very buggy. So is it worth it? If you use your phone on a regular basis, I doubt it.
