iOS Jailbreaker MuscleNerd has done it. He has managed to jailbreak the iOS 5 in less than 24 hours of its official unveiling. MuscleNerd of iPhone Dev Team posted some images of the Jailbreak from his official twitter account saying that he has successfully jailbroken Apple’s iOS 5 software using Limera1n.
According to him the jailbreak is tethered for now but there is nothing to worry about because this version of the jailbreak will never reach the iUsers. Anyhow according to the initial testing by MuscleNerd, the Cydia seems to be working all good on his jailbroken 4th generation iPod touch, he installed SSHing utility app called iSSH successfully on the device.
The Apple iOS 5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch was announced yesterday at the WWDC conference, which brings over 200 new features. Key features of this update includes – a new notifications system called ‘Notification Center’, Twitter integration, Newsstand, Safari Reader, tabbed browsing for iPad, Camera updates, built-in dictionary, PC-free (no cables required), OTA software updates and much more. According to the MuscleNerd the exploit used to jailbreak the iOS 5 beta will work on the final release version, and iUsers can be happy to know that the iOS 5 will be jailbroken immediately as it release this fall.
