GreenPois0n Jailbreak for iOS 4.1 is Not Coming Out This Weekend

We already know that pod2g, the hacker behind SHAtter exploit has confirmed that iOS 4.1 jailbreak will be released within few days, so most of users thought that hackers will release GreenPois0n jailbreak this weekend (as usual) but p0sixninja, Chronic Dev Team member has tweeted that the tool is not coming out this weekend.

"Sunday is a Funday" is dev team’s slogan, I believe ours is "Patience Please!"

It’s /not/ coming out tomorrow, I’m just getting sick of hearing dev teams slogan (as much as everyone else is sick of hearing ours =P)

And no that doesn’t mean it’s coming today either. Patience Please!!

They just wants you to be patient, so be patient and don't ask again for release time, probably it will be released next week so stay tuned !!
