‘Preliminary’ Jailbreak of 1.1.1 Announced at TUAW
The iPhone/iTouch Dev guys have been hard at work for weeks and have finally managed to jailbreak 1.1.1. Right now, they’re nowhere near releasing a general-use tool but the first steps have been made. Congratulations to dinopio, asap18, netkas, Martyn, mjc, Niacin, BloomFilter, pytey, tE_gU, pumpkin, roxfan, sam, SmileyDude, NerveGas, Nate True, Arminius, DirectriX, ixtli, kroo, xorl, and the rest of the team. – Erica Sadun at TUAW
Erica’s post at TUAW goes on to explain that this jailbreak method is ‘nowhere near ready for prime time’ and that 3rd party applications currently run, but many crash, and many of them probably have to be recompiled.
So … still a fair ways to go, but this still sounds like very good news.
Check the TUAW piece HERE for more detail on what currently works and what doesn’t.
