What is tethered and untethered?

If a jailbreak is tethered, you have to connect to the computer once you reboot to rejailbreak.
If a jailbreak is untetherd, you can reboot without having to connect to a computer.

Current jailbreaks:

4.1:
redsn0w, untethered
sn0wbreeze, untethered
Pwnage Tool, untethered

4.0/4.0.1:
redsn0w, untethered
Star (jailbreakme.com), untethered
sn0wbreeze, untethered
Pwnage Tool, untethered
iBooty (sn0wbreeze, Beta only), tethered

3.1.3:

New Bootroom jailbreak?

There are rumours going around the internet that there will be a new bootroom jailbreak for all iOS devices.

A bootroom jailbreak is a jailbreak that you have to do with your device powered off, for example redsn0w. A userland jailbreak is a jailbreak with the device on like Spirit or Star (jailbreakme.com).
The exploit was found on the day iOS 4.1 was released by p0sixninja and pod2g.

The good thing about this exploit is that it works on all devices and will support all future firmwares. To patch this exploit, Apple will need to make hardware modifications.

It is yet unknown if this jailbreak is tethered or untethered (What is tethered and untethered?).
