I can’t wait until we can stop talking about this and give you news that a Jailbreak has been released… Many people jumped the gun and upgraded to iOS 5.1 without thinking about when or if a Jailbreak would be available. But there is a shred of good news on the horizon… Pod2G recently tweeted some insight into the Jailbreak situation…
According to iDB, they have been able to bypass the ASLR (Address Space layout randomization), which is a very complex security measure. This could have taken much longer, so it’s a good thing…
Though it still could be a bit until a public release for any Jailbreak happens. Not to mention they have yet to specify if this includes all devices or just a couple.
ETA for 5.1 JB: no clue! We’re going to set pieces of the puzzle together this week. We could have issues… Could be 1 month maybe 2…
Maybe never… (!)
I know 1 month seems long, but it’s short to work on a project like this when it’s a hobby and you’ve other things to do as well.
Needless to say, this is a difficult task. These guys work day and night on their “hobby” just so we can all have a Jailbreak. They are completely dedicated to bringing our iDevices Cydia. I’m pretty sure (I hope) that he was joking when he said the Jailbreak may “never” come.
Either way I’m sure we’ll see some developments on this in the next month… Stay tuned! Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for instant updates!
