Yesterday, Apple released iOS 4.3.4 firmware update for all the iDevices, which is nothing but a fix for the PDF vulnerability used in JailbreakMe 3.0 tool. Since Apple has patched this hole in iOS system, you can't get untethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3.4 software.
However, tethered jailbreak still works on iOS 4.3.4 based devices. Using the tether exploit, MuscleNerd and team have released Redsn0w 0.9.8b3 for jailbreakers. The Redsn0w 0.9.8b3 works on iPod Touch 3G, iPod Touch 4G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad 1. iPad 2 users should stay away from iOS 4.3.4 update, as there is no way to jailbreak these devices on latest firmware.
Here's the official note from iPhone Dev Team -
For the convenience of kernel hackers like @comex and @i0n1c, we have a new redsn0w 0.9.8b3 that supports a TETHERED jailbreak for iOS 4.3.4 on all devices that have 4.3.4 except the iPad2. The vast majority of people will want to stay back at 4.3.3 because that's where the untethered jailbreak is! There are no new features in 4.3.4 — only fixes for jailbreak exploits.
Also, this is a good time to remind everyone (since we're still seeing confusion about this): iPad2 owners with a baseband (3G or CDMA) cannot currently use saved blobs to go back to 4.3.3 once the signing window is closed. This is unlike every other device, so don't be confused! iPad2 owners with basebands should stay away from all updates to maintain your jailbreak!
