Planetbeing (who ported Android on iPhone) managed to unlock iPhone 4 running on iOS 4 earlier has posted an update that iPhone 4 Jailbreak and unlock will be fused into a single Tool like blacksn0w which was bundled with blackra1n by Geohot. The update came after musclenerd reported that iPhone 4 can now be unlock in just 2 steps using planetbeing’s loader.

With an unlocked version of iPhone 4, users in US can easily use prepaid SIM cards other than AT&T and comes handy when you plan to travel outside US and still want to use the iPhone. Most likely a new all-in-one iPhone 4 jailbreak and unlock tool will be released instead of porting an unlock exploit into existing redsn0w jailbreak tool.
[Update #1] - Planetbeing has posted another tweet:
It will probably be the usual thing where you jailbreak and then install ultrasn0w from Cydia.
[Update #2] – Musclenerd has posted another update:
Side benefit to this iPhone4 unlock effort: can do seczone dumper tool for those wanting to bruteforce their unlock code
[Update #3] – Musclenerd has posted another update:
(bruteforcing your phones unique unlock code is huge computational effort, but to start you need seczone dump)
[Update #4] – Musclenerd has posted another update:
a successful bruteforce of your unique unlock code would give you your permanent unlock, no ultrasn0w needed
But no ETA was cited for iPhone 4 iOS 4 jailbreak and unlock software combo. Stay tuned for more updates!
