It has been discovered that the exploit used to allow the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak has been patched as of the third (and current) beta of iOS 5.1, meaning that unless another exploit is used once iOS 5.1 comes around, there will likely be no untethered jailbreak for that version of iOS 5.

The jailbreak community has been able to get the hacked version of Siri communicating successfully with Apple’s servers. But don’t expect to see this Siri hack anytime soon for a public release, as this is a proof-of-concept only.

The iPhone Dev Team has been keeping up with the iOS 5 betas and the ability to perform a tethered jailbreak on them by updating their redsn0w app regularly. This latest update, however, does not come alongside an iOS 5 beta release, but instead improves the redsn0w app by adding plenty of new features and improvements.

Finally, the much awaited comeback of Jailbreakme.com has happened. The website for easily jailbreaking your iOS devices lives anew, waiting for all your iDevices running iOS 4.3. I suppose I don’t have to tell anymore what jailbreaking will do to your iOS devices, right? By this time you should already know the pros and cons of jailbreaking. So, if you don’t mind the negative consequences and are more concerned with the benefits of jailbreaking, check to see if your iDevices fall into any of the categories supported by the current version of JailbreakMe.com.

Many iDevice owners choose to jailbreak for various reasons, mostly for benefits that Apple doesn’t want them to have or know about. Jay Freeman (aka saurik), the creator of Cydia, which is an alternative to Apple’s App Store for jailbroken iDevices, sat down with Robert Scoble at the Mobile Connections conference where they recorded a video in which Freeman talked about the benefits of jailbreaking your iDevice.

We really have to admire the Chronic Dev Team. Despite GeoHot’s decision to release limera1n ahead of their own jailbreak tool, the Chronic Dev Team has released an “initial” version of their greenpoison jailbreaking tool for iOS4 devices. The Chronic Dev Team is even playing it smart by releasing a version of greenpoison that was based on the security hole discovered by GeoHot.

iPhone hacker Geohut has released his iDevice jailbreak, so you can now jailbreak your iOS 4.1 devices, including iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G/3G/2G, iPad and iPhone 3GS. There’s one caveat, though, you can only use it on a Windows PC. Mac and Linux versions are to follow soon. Geohut also said the jailbreak process will not be as easy as a one-click process, but the procedure is clearly outlined in the jailbreak box.

JailbreakMe.com, the popular browser-based jailbreaking tool that recently took the iPhone and iPod Touch community by storm, may have just seen its day. A new update for the iOS software on both the iPhone and iPod touch, as well as the iPad, addresses the PDF exploit that JailbreakMe.com was using to install their code. While anybody who hasn’t updated yet will still be able to use the service, this update will stop new users from jailbreaking in the future.

If you’ve been following iPhone jailbreaking and related information for a while now you’re probably familiar with the company. There is no doubt they have brought the jailbreak community many great things, from Installer to Kate to the more recent Icy. Sadly, RipDev will be leaving the iPhone community for reasons that they do not wish to disclose.
