Here is a thought. If you was one of the few who has the ability to jailbreak these devices, would it not make sense to anonymously display the jailbreak to apple first in the hope to obtain a massive lump sum of cash to allow apple to patch the vulnerability?

Talk about casting a negative light on it all hehe, but dev or not, I'd love to be millionaire overnight for my talents :eek:)

Don't they call that blackmail? :)

I've talked about this as well. Keeping a jailbreak from being released on their flagship product is probably worth tens of millions to them, if not hundreds. The comex leak is what made me think of it.

It has something to do with PDF exploit ;)

Which means what..iPad 2 jailbreak? or does this have something to do with IOS 5..I would be annoyed if this had something to do with IOS 5 because it would mean he has no interest in jailbreaking the iPad 2 now :(

And some bad news :( :-

iPad 2 Jailbreak Might Not be Released Till This Fall



iPad-2-Jailbreak1-450x294.jpg






We have been waiting for iPad 2 jailbreak for so long now, there have been hopes and hopes and many ‘coming soon’ news but it seems like the jailbreak is taking ages. We waited so hard that scams started exploiting us. Remember fake iPad 2 jailbreaks and a scam? If hackers had released it some time ago, it had been all good for them as well as the users but now the situation seems to have become much complicated. iOS 5 beta is already out and Apple has not yet fixed the known jailbreak exploit by @i0n1c which made it possible to jailbreak three successive releases of iOS - 4.3.1 up to 4.3.3. If Apple does fix the exploit in some iOS 5 beta, the jailbreak for iPad 2 will be released soon after that as hackers would know that the exploit had been fixed and releasing the jailbreak won’t mean losing an exploit. If on the other hand, Apple chooses not to fix the exploit till the final iOS 5 release, hackers would keep on holding the jailbreak in a hope that it is not fixed in final iOS 5 release, making the jailbreak compatible with iOS 5 as well. I know all this is a little confusing but @i0n1c summarized it best in under 140 charecters:
“Unless Apple fixes a known but not yet used kernel exploit in iOS 5.x betas I don’t think there will be an iPad 2 jb before iOS 5.0 final”
The bad news is that Apple usually does not fix such exploits in the betas in order to keep pushing the jailbreak community back. May be, we are in a little too bad situation. Seems like it is the best idea to sit back and relax till fall when iOS 5 is released. But well, if the jailbreak is released before that, you won’t miss it...

Which is kinda ridiculous if they do that, if 4.3.3 was and all other firmwares before that(besiides 4.3) were already patched in the iPad 2..what makes anyone think that IOS 5 will be any different
