iPhone and other iOS device users on iOS 5.0.1 will begin to rejoice as Untethered jailbreak for their devices is finally here. Just weeks after an exploit for untethered jailbreak was found for iOS 5.0.1, it has been incorporated into RedSn0w 0.9.10, the Pwnage Tool and Chronic Devteam’s Cydia package. This will work on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 (including the CDMA version), iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 4G, so long as they’ve been updated to iOS 5.0.1.
Steps are simple
Head over to the Dev Team page here and download the RedSn0w for your OS (Mac/Win) Make sure your device has been updated to iOS [...][dropcap]T[/dropcap]he PDF exploit that was used in JailreakMe last year which allowed a one tap Jailbreak and a fast unlock for users. Apple had fixed the flaw in its early stages and now its back. Looks like that is the reason for the quick iPad 2 Jailbreak and the new exploit the Jailbreakers have been enjoying. According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple acknowledged the exploit, and is working on an update. The said update will not only fix the JailbreakMe 3.0 exploit but also another exploit that could allow unwanted eyes to your information.

Did you buy an iPhone 4 with the latest baseband? or if you are one of those unlucky few who updated their iPhones back in October and are waiting for an Unlock? Well then a US$ 70 solution might be a relief for you. This generic chip comes with a custom tray, you have to attach the chip with your sim card and insert it into your iPhone 4, Much like the earlier popular TURBO SIM.
This chipset is supposedly going to unlock your iPhone 4 no matter what baseband or OS you are on. Check out a video of it in action below

This refuels the no home button rumors we heard about. Please Apple, don’t remove that home button.
A slight sigh of relief is shown by the fact that apple claims that multitasking functions are a test and will not be available in the final build of iOS 4.3 . This would definitely mean that the Home button still exists. It does, it doesn’t , we wont know until it’s finally [...]
