iH8sn0w has updated iFaith to version 1.4 which brings support for saving SHSH blobs of iOS 5.0.x firmware as long as you are currently running that firmware on your iOS device, even if Apple is not signing it.

Yes you read that right, MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has posted some pictures on his twitter account, confirming the jailbreak works fine on iOS 5, but of course it is limited to tethered boot only, which means you will have to connect it to your computer on every reboot.

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?

Folks at Vietnamese site Tinhte claims to have got their hands on an official white iPhone 4 from Apple which is said to be running a pre-release version of iOS 5. Video after the break.

Apple is working on a new gesture based lockscreen, which will work similarly to the dots screen pattern found on Android devices.
