It appears that those who upgraded to iOS 5.1 on A5 devices (iPad 2 and iPhone 4S) won’t have to wait quite as long for an untethered jailbreak as was rumored. German iOS hacker and jailbreaker, i0n1c, posted a trio of pictures a little while ago showing an iPad 2 running iOS 5.1 and most importantly, jailbroken. The fact that the iPad now has a working jailbreak means the iPhone 4S, which shares the same A5 silicon, could follow in the near future. It’ll be...

But now, Apple have conceded a lot of that sort of functionality to the user, and then some. For free, iPhone users now can have wallpapers, background tasks, A2DP, custom ringtones, built-in Twitter and more, all of which once needed a swift jailbreak of the phone. This...
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...
