Yesterday I was fortunate enough to be in the presence of some of the finest and most influential members of the jailbreaking community. Scores of iOS modding enthusiasts, reporters and developers turned out for the first ever jailbreak convention, now called JailbreakCon (formerly MyGreatFest), of which Redmond Pie was one of the key sponsors.

After having been announced back in March, the day has finally come! The first ever iOS device jailbreaking convention will be held tomorrow in London at the Old Truman Brewery at Brick Lane.

According to Craig Fox, organizer of MyGreatFest, a London-based iPhone-related event, a jailbreak for the iPhone 5 might be released when once the event kicks off, on September 17th, if the new device is indeed released in August, as we reported yesterday.

It’s been a great 24 hours for the guys behind MyGreatFest, the first ever iOS community convention after they announced an event will be taking place in the United States next year, as well as a new attendee for the UK event in September.

The guys over at MyGreatFest have put together a short video showing off the venue for the world’s first iOS and jailbreaking convention, to be held in London on September 17th 2011.

It is with great pleasure to announce that Redmond Pie will be sponsoring MyGreatFest – The world’s first iDevice jailbreak convention, which is scheduled to be held in London, England on September 17th 2011.
