Yesterday, we reported that JailbreakMe.com had been sold to an unknown person and that Comex’s web-based jailbreaking tool would be transferred to a new Jailbreaks.me domain. Well, there is good news to be heard regarding the story, as the JailbreakMe.com domain has been transferred to Cydia developer Saurik.
Anybody who takes more than a fleeting interest in the jailbreak community will have heard of Jay Freeman. For those of you that haven't, he is the mastermind behind the Cydia infrastructure which is at the heart of every single jailbroken iDevice to date.
