iOS 5 Jailbroken

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the ahead-of-the-curve dept.

Mightee writes "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. According to his initial testing, Cydia appears to be working just fine on his jailbroken 4th-gen iPod touch; he managed to install an SSHing utility app called iSSH successfully, which can be seen in one of the screenshots below."

    Article images seem to be broken.

    Interestingly enough there are some images which are ok and link to related content, such as "Unusual Facts About Breasts" and "Goalkeeper Attacks Hot Reporter". These images seem to work ok.

    "but of course it is limited to tethered boot only". Does the word "of course" in there mean it assumes I knew this already, or find it very evident that this is so?

    But of course.

    This is a better link, and is where the images in the linked article are being hot-linked from anyway ...

    I wasn't aware it was even on the horizon. Looking at the list of features, it seems like they are doing a nice job of copying Android 3.0.

    They copied everything but the ads and carrier brown-nosing.
