Jailbreakme 3.0 Released

Posted by samzenpus on from the tonight-there's-gonna-be-a-jailbreak dept.

Beardydog writes "Jailbreakme.com has been officially updated, providing the first public method for jailbreaking the iPad 2, and the easiest method for jailbreaking most other iOS devices. The jailbreak works with iOS 4.3.3, and it is recommended that users update before a new release from Apple closes the vulnerability exploited by the jailbreak."

    Why don't you buy hardware that you can actually own? You know, so that you're not afraid that Apple will lock you out of your own hardware.

    Ouch, this must be a bit of a pain. Maybe a good opportunity to try something outside the walled garden for a change? :)

    Sounds like you did a lot of stupid things in a row. If you don't know enough to backup your device before you mess with it you shouldn't be jailbreaking/rooting.
