Jailbreak For A5 iOS Devices Released

[Daniel]

It certainly took long enough, but the untethered jailbreak for Apple's A5 based iOS devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4s) has been released (official site, struggling due to traffic). It's currently only available for OS X, though ports of it to Windows are forthcoming.

What interests me is the promotion of these jailbreaks as a good thing. It's an exploit, after all. That allows the attacker to completely root your device, often just by visiting a website. It's not only limited to iOS either, this is rampant in Android too. The only current devices with no known exploits are Windows Phone 7 based, which is very telling.
