Most of you might have already know by now that an all-iOS device jailbreak called JailbreakMe 2.0 (Star) has been released.

The iPhone Dev-Team (Comex) has released JailbreakMe 2.0 (aka Star) which can jailbreak all iOS devices on their latest respective firmware like iOS 4.0 / 4.0.1.

It cant get simpler than that !

If his recent Facebook activity has to be believed, than Facebook’s founder and CEO might have just ditched his iPhone for Android. It was only last month when Mark made the headlines for switching to iPhone (it was 3GS, not iPhone 4) from BlackBerry.

He also said that he will get the new iPhone 4 and see if that solves all his problems before switching to Android.
