Apple are working on making j/b even harder and the 4G may make it impossible - I'm afraid the only way to go is to get your app on the store.
iPhone users should (imho) be lobbying Apple to make it easier for Amateurs to make little apps available.

It's estimated that 9% of all iPhones are jailbroken, and I haven't seen a lot of reports of problems. So, maybe you'll be comfortable going ahead with the process.
