Posted by Soulskill on from the just-a-matter-of-time dept.

tlhIngan writes "It certainly took long enough, but the untethered jailbreak for Apple's A5 based iOS devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4s) has been released (official site, struggling due to traffic). It's currently only available for OS X, though ports of it to Windows are forthcoming."

    FreeCoder is another of the Bonc/Sharklaser/OverlyCriticalGuy gang.

    Every posting from them is slanted as an attack on Android, Google or Linux.

    Apple lets you run your own deep code on the phone, they just charge a $99/year developers fee. Once you pay that, basically you "own" the phone by the terms you set. Complain about the extra charge, but don't complain about lack of ownership.
