Updated October 26, 2009 at 6:05 a.m. PT: shawncpotter, one of our readers', asked for clarification on what "Tethered jailbreak for 3.1 OOTB ipt 8GB and new 3GS units" means. If own a specific late model iPhone 3GS and it loses power or needs to be rebooted for any reason, you must first tether it to a computer and use Blackra1n to turn it back on again.
I hate this kind of jailbreak. maybe will wait until new release come up.
I am not sure the details though. I don't know if you have to rerun blackrain or if you just need it connected to any pc or mac via usb. Maybe Atlas can provide a step by step on how exactly is that you bring up a jailbroken iphone with a tethered break.
