iPhone Dev Team Talks About iOS 5.1 Jailbreak And iPad 3
Dev-Team made a post on their blog talking about the New iPad fever and how apple fans are lining up to get the first look of the new iPad. Ironic but Dev-Team calls the New iPad as iPad 3. Hmm, interesting. Apart from the iPad fever, Dev-Team also mentioned that the jailbreak which worked on iPad 2 will also work on the new iPad 3. He has also mentioned that i0n1c has successfully jailbreaked his iPad 2 on iOS 5.1. Apparently there is one more jailbreak that is being worked on. This is what the Blog says:
- We can confirm that the method used to jailbreak the iPad2 4 months ago (before corona) still works even in 5.1. That means we’ll at least be able to get our foot in the door to get the required kernel dumps on the iPad3. That’s an important step, but by no means is it the end of the story.
- Those of you following @i0n1c may have noticed he’s already tweeted pictures of his iPad2 jailbroken at 5.1. As far as we know, he’s using a method completely unrelated to the one mentioned above. That would be great news!
- We’ve also seen bits and pieces of an entirely different jailbreak method being investigated by someone close to the Cydia repo scene.
So there are 3 methods of jailbreak under process and there is one more on which @pod2g is working on. The bottom line for the iPad users is
not to update their new iPad beyond 5.1 or whatever iOS it comes shipped with.
Seems like the jailbreak for iOS 5.1 will be a nightmare for Apple..

Previously we discussed that i0n1c successfully jailbroke his iPad 3 and shared the pics of Cydia working on his iPad 2. Stefen Esar, popularly known as i0n1c has now demonstrated the very same jailbreak on a video. i0n1c was successful in achieving an untethered jailbreak on the new iPad 3. We also have the screenshots of the iPad with Cydia running on it.
