Some sites are reporting that the SHAtter jailbreak originally discovered by pod2g is a tethered jailbreak. In fact, its tethered status has not been announced yet.
According to the Chronic Dev Team's blog, "Anything you read saying it is one of the above in definite terms is just speculation, again, we have not given official word about the tether status or any details regarding the exploit used."
The team also reiterated this in a retweet yesterday, "SHAtter is not a tethered jailbreak nor it is untethered... @chronicdevteam have not yet announced anything about that. Stop speculations :)"
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available...

People should be thankful over any new JailBreak but one has the option to not update, I have to reboot my touch way to often to use a tethered JailBreak, But then again I am still running 3.1.3 I am having a great user experience!

Does thetered jailbreak mean that everytine one has to reboot it the iPhone should be plugged to the computer to retain the jailbreak like happened with the 3GS with new botrom? If Shatter is like that it would kinda suck!
