The reason why many people jailbreak their iPhones, iPads and iPod touches is to add, or sometimes even remove, certain functionality. Some even just want to alter how one particular feature works, tweaking something about it that makes it infinitely more useful than Apple had ever intended.
It was only a few days ago when iOS developer and hacker Pod2g showed off his new untethered jailbreak exploit running on iOS 5. At that time, he tested it on a third-gen iPod touch running iOS 5.0 and wasn’t sure if it would also work on the new iOS 5.0.1 as well. But he did promise to test it on iOS 5.0.1 and report back accordingly with results.
Although there are thousands, even tens of thousands of free apps on Apple’s App Store, how many of them are worth your ever so precious time? With so many to choose from, it becomes hard to see which ones are worth your valuable storage space on your beloved iOS device.

Starting with iOS 5, Apple added some new checks to ensure people stick with the latest version of iOS. This made downgrading to iOS 5 impossible using SHSH blobs saved by Cydia or TinyUmbrella. But now, thanks to iH8sn0w’s iFaith, you can downgrade from iOS 5.1 or iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5 custom firmware as long as you have APTicket + SHSH blobs saved for it.
