According to a new blog post published by jailbreak hacker pod2g, the long awaited jailbreak for A5 devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4S) should be “a matter of days” now. The blog post reveals that developers @planetbeing and @saurik (the creator of Cydia, marketplace for unofficial iOS apps) made their contributions to finding an exploit for the A5 chip, which has been a major issue for hackers trying to figure out a way to hack into Apple’s system in the past months.
pod2g, creator of the iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak for A4 devices, notes that there “should be nothing left” blocking the release of the A5 version. A precise release date, however, hasn’t been provided in the blog post.
For updates, you can head over pod2g’s blog and Twitter account. The A5 jailbreak has seen a “dream team” of hackers like Saurik, Planetbeing, pod2g, MuscleNerd (iPhone Dev Team) and p0sixninja (Chronic Dev Team) working together to find a way to break out of Apple’s sandbox and release a public version of the jailbreak.
