iPhone developer ih8sn0w has updated Sn0wbreeze to version 2.7 in-order to include support untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.3 (iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPod touch) and iOS 4.2.8 on Verizon iPhone 4.
The just released PwnageTool 4.3.3 by the iPhone Dev Team can jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad (1st-gen), iPod touch 4G/3G, Apple TV, and at the same time will help retain the old baseband for iPhone 4 and 3GS users so that they can unlock using Ultrasn0w.
The iPad 2 is still on short supply, but the iPad 3 rumors have started already with RCRWireless writing that Apple is planning to bring 3D to its next tablet, citing a Hollywood source.
If there is one area where Apple's iOS still lags behind Google's Android, it's in the software updating process. As things stand today, eager updaters must first be informed that an update is available and then run off to plug their iDevice into a computer for iTunes to work its magic. Contrast this with the painless over-the-air nature of Android's updates and it's clear to see where Apple needs to be focusing its energy right now.
Surprise! surprise! Just like in iOS 4.3.2, Apple hasn’t patched i0n1c’s untether exploit in the just released iOS 4.3.3. What this means is that we are going to see full untethered jailbreak for all devices on iOS 4.3.3, soon.
I have just tested this and can confirm that the current latest version of Redsn0w can jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 (tethered) on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod touch 4G/3G and other A4 based devices.
We're sure everyone remembers the Microsoft Courier, the much-anticipated though ultimately cancelled dual-screen tablet. The idea was an intriguing one - two screens and an operating system that utilized both pen and gesture inputs. It was funky, but Microsoft said they could never put it into production and a little bit of every geek on the planet died along with it. If only our iPads could recreate some of that magic.
While Cydia has been the App Store of choice for iOS jailbreakers for, well ever few will argue that mire competition is needed in the arena. Competition is just what Lima promises to offer, and it has its own twist - it's browser-based.
iOS 5 is expected to bring with it some juicy new features, not least a new notification system and application developers are starting to see the next iOS version show up in the stats they receive from Apple. Proof the company is ramping up testing, perhaps?
Ahh, those crazy hackers. They like nothing more than a bit of competition mixed in with their late nights and Mountain Dew. It appears some new-old competition just joined the race to dump the iPad 2's bootrom.
