Realistically when will public JB be out for 3GS 3.0?

Realistically they will do it if/when they can. They've had the hardware for 2 days. Unfortunately for us, the dev team has lives, I hope.
when the 3GS is JB, will the cydia apps work the same as on the 3G?? I assume the hardware doesnt matter
This is a bad assumption. The reason for the quick 3G jailbreak was that the 3G used the same processor as before and therefore had the same security hole. A look at the time to crack the 2G Touch would give a more realistic analogy as to the time for the 3GS.
The Touch 2G was released in August 2008. It was officially jailbroken in January-Feburary 2009. Expect a similar time frame for the 3GS.
Yeah, I just realized that the 3G had the same hardware whereas the 3G S does not. However, the 3G and the 3G S do share the same BaseBand, the X Gold 608. The 3G jailbreak can use the same payload and injection vector to jailbreak the 3G S, there just needs to be a suitable exploit found, and that's the hard part. This could take weeks or more likely, months. So, I'm not going to expect it for a while.
EDIT: By the way, the iPod touch 2G was released in September 2008.
I would have to say that too. They want to finish up Ultrasn0w and then fix major bugs on it. Then they will hopefully start on 3GS jailbreaking.
The also stated on there blog that they won't be releasing periodic updates on how they're doing with the 3GS. Which saddens me, but as long as it comes out I'm fine.
I just hope it doesn't take as long as the iPod Touch 2G jailbreak.

Ironic that there's FINALLY an iPhone with enough processing power/RAM to jailbreak without massive slowdowns but it can't actually be jailbroken. Too funny.

i know right i used to jailbreak back in the OG iPhone days but stopped because of the slow downs and now i can't oh well
Following your logic ---->
Any day ?
Any week ?
Any month ?
Any year ?
Only time will tell.
