Status Update on the iPad 2 Jailbreak

The iPhone Dev-Team has issued an update on the status of the iPad 2 jailbreak.

The iPad2 jailbreak remains under development. As you may know, the original exploit @comex developed in the first week of the iPad2 release was mysteriously fixed by Apple within days of its development. Partly because of this, don’t expect much public discussion of the iPad2 jailbreak until it's actually finished and ready for release (and please avoid asking about it). In all liklihood, it will be a userland exploit like the first (unreleased) one, not dependent on bootrom dumps. The first one can’t be released even for those with the original 4.3 firmware due to legal (distribution) reasons.

Recently, p0sixninja challenged geohot to dump the iPad 2 bootrom before he could. Geohot reportedly accepted the challenge though he didn't have the device at the time.


"I challenged geohot to dump the iPad2 bootrom before me. Maybe having a worthy opponent will motivate me to work harder =P"

"he accepted, he said he didn't have an iPad yet but he's getting one really soon"

We'll keep you up to date with any developments.

So at this point you might as well wait for the Ipad 3. Since a jailbreak for this version will never happen?
