Or do i have to update to ios6.1 not jailbreaken, loose all my applications tweaks and whatsoever and than jailbreak ios 6.1 and again install everything?

To be on the safe side back everything up, but when I updated my iPad 4 I still had all may apps after the update

mike can u exactly describe how u managed to update jailbreak end doesn't lose everything please?

You can't go directly from a jail broken iOS to a jail broken iOS. You have to go jail broken > upgrade to stock > jail break new iOS.

If you make a backup in iTunes before you upgrade to the stock iOS, you can restore that backup AFTER you jail break. We don't recommend using a jail break tweak for backups, mainly because tweaks may not work properly on the new iOS. So, for tweaks, we recommend you put them on one at a time to make sure they work. I recommend writing a list of the Cydia tweaks you have installed now - that way you'll know what ones to go back and get after you re-jail break.

Here are the steps I am going to follow when the jail break is released:

1) Save a backup in iTunes
2) Upgrade my iPad 3 to iOS 6.1 (restoring as NEW, not from backup)
3) Perform the jail break and log in to Cydia
4) "Restore from backup" (in iTunes - this will put my apps, data, settings, etc. back on the iPad)
5) One at a time - put my Cydia tweaks back on the iPad (that were there on iOS 5.1.1)
6) Enjoy my newly jail broken iPad on iOS 6.1! :)

Hopefully, this helps.

thanks, i will do so
But, isn't the jailbreak already released?
