Thank you, Geohot, for this Samsung Galaxy 4S root. We really wish you to come back on the Apple mobile firmware scene because users are expecting to see iOS 7 jailbreak and you can also help to develop this exploit. Right now there are only beta versions of this system released by Apple and even if they can be jailbroken [we have seen one hacker jailbreaking his iPod touch with iOS 7 installed on it] we will not see the public jailbreaking utility until the official firmware release in fall.
