As part of Apple's redesign for the fourth generation iOS device, iPhone 4 has a completely new baseband. The previous three generations of iPhone all shared the same baseband, explaining the relative speed of success after the original iPhone baseband was first unlocked (dubbed ultrasn0w).
MuscleNerd's tweet read: "Next step is to keep the task backgrounded like we did for 3G/3GS http://is.gd/dh7Jh. Backgrounded task is the unlock."
The question of iOS 4 jailbreaking is still looming as well, though according to another tweet by MuscleNerd: "the next jailbreak from @comex is like first Spirit..all devices, all bootroms, latest FW, painless install". It is expected that jailbreaking will be made available along with the impending release of iOS 4.1.
