Cool stuff coming to Jailbreak community on OS 4.0

[battlecrushr]

Well guys the chronic dev team's p0sixninja updated his blog, telling us of cool things that are ahead of us when 4.0 rolls out.
They are:

idevicerestore: A new tool capable of restoring IPSWs to devices without the help of iTunes. Also capable of doing other neat stuff such as upgrading stock firmware without flashing nor (to preserve jailbreaks) or baseband (to preserve unlocks).
ideviceactivate: A new utility to designed to activate devices without the help of iTunes. Hopefully soon this will even allow users to activate unlocked devices, or devices without an official AT&T SIM.
spirit-linux: An open source version of the Spirit jailbreak for the Linux platform (and possibly soon others).
libirecovery: A library to help developers communicating with iBoot, iBSS, iBEC and DFU, as well as a brand new, completely rewritten, and MUCH improved irecovery.

Well i can't wait

you can use cyberduck to ssh on a mac or you could use terminal.app that comes with all mac. Just type ssh root@*your device IP address* (without the stars)
