It’s been a crazy weekend. The A5 owners across the World were finally granted access to the sweet action of a jailbroken iDevice on 5.0+. We’ve been waiting since October to bask in the glorious aroma of this amazing liquor called Absinthe. The Dev Teams involved with the latest addition to the ever lasting cat-and-mouse game with Apple has touted a whopping 1 million installs across iPhone 4S’s, iPad 2s as well as the iPad 2s that were previously...

We told you about the OSX release of Absinthe yesterday and you Windows users can finally set the phone you spent a ton of money on free from the confines of Apples prison. I used the OSX version yesterday and am loving it. October was the last time I was able to really enjoy my phone. I am so thankful for all the hard work that has gone into the 5.0 jailbreak. The UI that the Chronic Dev Team uses for both the Mac and Windows version is very slick and easy. Not much for...

Oh happy day!!!! The A5 untether has officially been released at greenpoison.com! So far, only the Mac OSX version is available, with Windows soon to follow. The Absinthe tool was developed by the Chronic Dev Team after so much hard work. A fun little fact, this jailbreak reuses both exploits from Corona + 5 others! Obviously the GP site is getting flooded with people attempting to free their iPhone 4S’s and iPad 2s, so be patient. As soon as we can get access to the...

The combined efforts of pod2g, the iPhone Dev Team and the Chronic Dev Team are paying off. The devs have been tweeting over the past few weeks about the countless...

As you have probably realized, we are desperately waiting for the A5 jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 here at the GS headquarters. Everyone here rocks the iPhone 4S, and all 15 of our company iPad 2s are sitting without a jailbreak. I haven’t gone this long without Cydia on my phone since before I had an iPhone. Since October we’ve been begging to see something. Luckily pod2g has been digging through code and working his arse off to yield us a pretty jailbreak....

Western Digital didn’t have a huge presence at this year’s CES, but they made a big impact on us here at Gadgetsteria. A blogger meet-up was scheduled last night and after a long trek through the Caesar’s Palace, we finally made it to the event. As we drank our beverages we were given a sneak peak at their new line of drives featuring Apple’s highly utilized Thunderbolt technology. A handful of companies had Thunderbolt hard drives announced and...
