Yeah, I knew about that too. I hate posting rumors and try to keep it to a mininum.

Cydia is down for me right now, maybe this is good news.

iOS 4.2.1: Update For iPhone Jailbreakers And Unlockers From Dev Team
Apple released iOS 4.2 (or iOS 4.2.1) for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch earlier today.
iPhone Dev team has provided a quick update for users who want to jailbreak and/or unlock their iPhone.
Before they go on to explain the current situation, they have advised users to avoid updating to iOS 4.2.1 until they release tools for iOS 4.2.1.
iPhone Dev team has provided the following details for users who want to jailbreak their iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch:
The best news of all is for owners of iPhone3G, older iPhone3GS, and non-MC iPod touch 2G. Due to a combination of our original pwnage2 exploit, the arm7_go exploit, 24kpwn, and limera1n, your device is “just as jailbreakable as ever.” You reap the full benefit of an untethered 4.2.1 jailbreak.
Next are the owners of all the more recent devices. The good news there is that due to geohot’s limera1n exploit, all recent devices can be jailbroken (this will be true until Apple released new hardware that fixes geohot’s limerain exploit in the bootrom). The bad news is that right now, the 4.2.1 jailbreak is *tethered* on all of these recent devices. A tethered jailbreak means that each time your device loses battery power or needs to be rebooted, you must attach it to a PC or Mac to boot into the jailbroken state. @comex is working hard on a method that may untether the 4.2.1 jailbreak, but it will require you to have your 4.1 SHSH blobs in order to use it. No word on how much more effort it will take though (please don’t bug @comex about it!). (We also have an alternative method that may work, but @comex’s method is much more elegant.)
iPhone Dev team hope to release tools to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 later today:
Well if you’re a JB developer or tinkerer, you’ve already probably used the redsn0w mentioned in our last post to jailbreak 4.2.1 and at least get SSH working. But beyond that, there are still some last minute issues with MobileSubstrate and comex’s kernel patches that are being fixed. We’ll tweet and post a blog update when it’s all available (we hate to give ETAs, but barring any unforeseen problems, probably later today).
iPhone Dev Team has provided the following details on their blog for users who want to unlock their iPhone:
As always, ultrasn0w unlockers please stay far far away from this official firmware (and all official firmware). Wait for the ability to create custom 4.2.1. IPSWs that don’t update your baseband!
Dev team has also provided an update for users who are eagerly waiting for Ultrasn0w for iOS 4.1 and now will be looking forward to one for iOS 4.2.1:
After redsn0w is officially released with the new Cydia and kernel patches, we’ll be able to assess the unlock situation. It’s already looking very promising though, so expect the unlock for the 3G and 3GS to be coming this week. The i4 unlock is taking more effort though, and no further concrete info is available about that yet.
Dev team has also adviced users to take a backup of SHSH Blobs (ECID) using Firmware Umbrella. Please note that if you have already jailbroken your iPhone, iPod Touch then Cydia would have taken the backup automatically.
As always, we’ll let you know as soon as we’ve any further updates. So stay tuned here at iPhone Hacks or follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our RSS feed.
Do you plan to jailbreak or unlock iOS 4.2.1? Please let us know in the comments section below.

That MobileMe tracking is amazing!
Thank you Apple for making this free to us.
(All of my emails are EAS, only Yahoo is imap'ed for my notes)
Example:
*MobileMe Gallery is not a freebie*

Just found out how to get this working on a 3GS. You need to activate your account with a IP4 first, check this guide here and it's nice & easy.
How to get free Find my iPhone on iPhone 3GS and other unsupported devices
by Georgia, Monday, Nov 22, 2010, 33 Comments
When Apple announced Find my iPhone was going free this morning they seemed to restrict it to 2010 hardware: iPhone 4, iPod touch 4, and iPad, but now it looks like there may be a way to get it working on iPhone 3GS and other unsupported devices. In fact, Apple.com tells you how:
Create a free Find My iPhone account on any iPhone 4, iPad, or iPod touch (4th generation) running iOS 4.2. Once you create an account on a qualifying device, use your Apple ID and password to enable Find My iPhone on your other devices running iOS 4.2. Find My iPhone is not available in all countries.

Well since the cat is out of the bag now I will let you guys on a little secret that has saved me HUNDREDS of dollars that last few years on top of the 20% discount because I am a USPS worker ;) I actually had an employee account plan but it got taken away a while ago when they did auditing lol
AT&T has a plan for "basic" phones thats unlimited data AND messaging for 25 bucks. IDK why it says 30? But they did roll back to 25 and thats when I got on it.
Once I got that plan and I had no data and no MMS on my phone to begin with. I had the plan WAY before the iPhone was "capable" of sending MMS's so I wasn't to worried about that part, it was the DATA that was KILLING ME!
After searching after messing with the phone after talking to people that know whats up I was pretty pissed that I couldn't figure it out. Everyone told me "nah dude...that is impossible the mobile me plan is on it's own (server/satellite/you name it) that you can's access with that phone." I even posted this idea on a forum with iPhone/AT&T geeks & experts only to get laughed at and ridiculed. Insert sad violin song here.
Well after a few weeks I figured it out. BUT I kept quiet, I did not want to let the cat out of the bag and then all kinds of people do this and F it up for me. Then MMS came out a year + later, and of course I wasn't able to get it working initially. But after a few weeks and by mistake I figured that out as well.
Now I won't tell you how I got it to work because a magician doesn't reveal blah blah blah and I am trying to go back to the mobile me plan right now as we speak. lol
And as far as DATA usage, I tether like a motherf'r because I travel a lot. Here is a screen cap of when I was in Vegas this last weekend. Mind you this is only half a day. haha
