According to MuscleNerd, SHAtter is now going to be delayed:

SHAtter will be held back now, so it’s not the worst possible scenario. Who knows, maybe SHAtter can even be improved

iPhone3GS & iPhone4 ultrasn0w unlockers: stay away from today’s limera1n. Wait for PwnageTool, else you’ll lose unlock

We haven’t tested this yet, but if you have, be sure to let us know how successful you are with Geohot’s limera1n jailbreak. I’m going to wait for PwnageTool as usual. Can’t go wrong with official jailbreak tools from the iPhone Dev Team.
