I can confirm as well that it works splendidly with iOS 4.1 and iPhone 4. Now I can finally play spanish Pokémon (on the Gameboy Emulator) in my Spanish class again ;)

I had the same 'problem' there should now be an app called limerain. open it and then you can install cydia.

Great Jailbreak, good job.

Ok so I downloaded the app on my iPod and I see Cydia when I open it but when I go to install it, it say “resringing data”. Not too sure what I’m suppose to do.
