iOS hackers MuscleNerd and planetbeing have both confirmed that the public release of iOS 6.1 is jailbreak safe! The update is vulnerable to all of the vulnerabilities that the hackers had planned on using to jailbreak iOS 6.1. That being said, update away! (Through iTunes)

According to planetbeing, while the firmware can be jailbroken, it's going to take a little while to get everything all polished up, bug free, and get a jailbreak method that can be released to the public:

DO NOT update OTA (over-the-air/using the software update tab on idevice) as this will give you different SHSH blobs to an iTunes update, and will ruin your chances of ever downgrading

Also, i spoke with JailbreakMatrix and asked him which way to update is the best. he suggests

do NOT OTA update (using your device)
You can update either by plugging into computer and clicking "update"

or update and restore. both will work fine.

I am updating my iPad mini , iPad 3, and iPhone 5 at the moment,

If anyone has any need or something, dont hesitate to PM me or "Baseband"

do you actually buy your packages? or do you get paid ones for free?

not 100% sure, but you can try the tweak called

"OpenBackup"

there are a few paid ones available too but im not sure of the name. OpenBackup might work for all tweaks, if not it will work for the ones that are FREE or PAID for NOT PIRATED.

hope that helped
