If you are still running around with a stock iPhone, either because you didn’t know about jailbreaking or were afraid to jailbreak because you might screw something up, time to get with the program. It’s easier then ever to jailbreak your iPhone, iPod or iPad and it’s fully untethered for all supported idevices. @Comex who is part of the dev-team, a group of very generous individuals who have banded together to provide their time, effort and coding knowledge to jailbreak our devices, all for free.
If you can’t find the app you need or the functionality you desire, jailbreaking opens your world to 3rd party developers, who by the way often create functionality that apple will eventually adopt into their iOS’s. The iPhone 4 is a hugely popular device but if you own one of the others your not out of luck.
If you’ve never heard of Comex, Saurik, MuscleNerd or any of the other Dev-Team members go visit http://blog.iphone-dev.org/, they have become house-hold names round these parts. We’ll be eagerly waiting the release of the Apple iPhone 5, iOS 5, as well as the Dev-Team’s Jailbreak of them.
Here are the devices jailbreakme.com supports:
- iPad1: 4.3 through 4.3.3
- iPad2: 4.3.3
- iPhone3GS: 4.3 through 4.3.3
- iPhone4: 4.3 through 4.3.3
- iPhone4-CDMA: 4.2.6 through 4.2.8
- iPod touch 3g: 4.3, 4.3.2, 4.3.3
- iPod touch 4g: 4.3 through 4.3.3
It’s easier then ever, just visit www.jailbreakme.com and click on “Free” then “install” and that’s it! Watch and Wait, your iphone will reboot and your world will begin to open up.
Here is some Q & A for you all:
Q: Do the holes discovered by @comex put my device at risk?
A: Yes. We recommend installing "PDF Patcher 2" in Cydia once you're jailbroken to eliminate this risk (any firmware version).
Q: How does jbme3.0 differ from the existing jailbreaks?
A: jbme3.0 is entirely userland-based, from start to finish. The A5 chip in the iPad2 has no iBoot or bootrom-level exploits yet, so tools like redsn0w, PwnageTool and sn0wbreeze can't use the limera1n bootrom exploit to inject the jailbreak. Even for those devices where limera1n works, jbme3.0 injects the jailbreak with a userland exploit.
Q: If I'm already jailbroken on the latest firmware, is there any advantage to jailbreaking again?
A: No, but you should consider showing this to your friends! Spread the jailbreaking fever.
Q: Are the holes exploited by jbme3.0 closed in iOS5?
A: The holes still exist in the iOS5 betas, but they'll almost certainly be fixed by the time iOS5 is public. However because the iPad2 had no public jailbreak yet, it probably wasn't worth waiting until the fall to use them. If history repeats itself though, there will be more holes and exploits.
Q: Will I permanently lose the jailbreak if I need to restore my device?
A: For all except the iPad2, saving your SHSH blobs should let you always restore your device to iOS versions where this jailbreak works. The iPad2 is a little more complicated. If you have a wifi-only iPad2 and saved SHSH blobs, you're in good shape. But if you have the GSM or CDMA iPad2, you won't be able to restore to 4.3.3 or lower once Apple stops signing its baseband. There are a few ideas that might work to get around this limitation, but for now it's best to assume there's no going back to 4.3.3 once 4.3.4 is out for iPad2 GSM or CDMA owners.
Q: I heard this new unionfs stuff is dangerous?
A: Define dangerous 
Seriously though, although unionfs is a huge improvement to the install time of the jailbreak, it is brand new code and there is the possibility something will go wrong. Just keep regular backups of your media and content and you should be fine. If there are any problems, they should appear within the first few days, so hold off and let "everyone else" test the waters if you'd like.

BlueAnt has finally released the Embrace Stereo Headphones. First Unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show last year, these sleek lightweight headphones are a must have for any gadget freak. Stylish and comfortable, they boast 40mm drivers for “True-To-Life” Stereo Sound, adjustable EQ settings, cable with integrated in-line remote controls and mic for iphone, ipod, ipad. Even comes with a nice case. They are not only aesthetically pleasing they are made with quality aluminum, leather, gold plated connectors inside. You can pick up these bad boys for $199.99
The headphones can be connected with a convenient and supplied single 3.5mm audio cable or the cable with the integrated control and microphone. Cord wear, isn’t so much an issue with these since you can replace the cord instead of buying new headphones. Anyone whose ever owned a pair of headphones can attest to the problem of cord wear at the connection points.
Noise reduction, clarity of sound and comfort where these headphones seem to shine. They are made of comfort foam that molds itself to the ears. BlueAnt is no stranger to noise reduction technology, being that they are at the forefront of peripherals for devices. We’d love to see this have stereo bluetooth but that kind of sound just isn’t a reality yet in a completely un-wired and unpowered sound system.
Here are some specs for you:
- Frequency Range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
- Sensitivity: 103 dB
- Impedance: 24 Ω
- Max Power: 15mW
