Successor to Star, JailbreakMe Saffron launched two days ago and we’re already seeing jailbreaking enthusiasts using Comex’s tool to jailbreak iOS devices at their local Apple Stores.
Earlier this week, we showcased Swype for iOS, a new jailbreak that greatly increases typing speed on iOS devices.

If you've been keeping a close eye to the news over the last few days, you're probably aware of JailbreakMe 3.0, a simple untethered jailbreak that takes advantage of a PDF exploit in Mobile Safari.

If you've been paying attention to the tech news over the weekend, you're probably aware that the first untethered jailbreak for the iPad 2, dubbed JailbreakMe 3.0, was leaked to the public. While at first we speculated that one of the testers had leaked it, it turned out that it was spotted by accident, before it was sent to tech sites all over the Internet. In an e-mail exchange between the leaker and Comex himself, the official version of JailbreakMe will be released either today or tomorrow.
Yesterday’s hottest news was the leaking of a beta version of JailbreakMe that set the jailbreaking community on fire. Goncalo wrote a step-by-step guide for interested iPad 2 owners on how to go about jailbreaking the iPad 2 with it and, today, we’ve learned about how the leaking took place.

According to this source, we should see both devices in September or October, although it's doubtful that we'll see an iPad 3 this year. Yet, the next iPad might sport a higher-resolution screen, according to this report.
If you're in any way familiar with the way the iPad functions, you probably know how apps that were made for smaller devices, namely the iPhone and the iPod touch, won't take up the whole screen. They can be scaled up and look (sort of) OK, but in general they don't look as good. What can you do with the lost space? Read on.
