IOS 5 Untethered Jailbreak: The Wait’s Almost Over

Jailbreaking your iPhone is a glorious process that opens your phone to a brave new world of features and apps. But with iOS 5, the process has only worked with your phone tethered (or semi-tethered) to your computer. Until right now.

The video above from hacker pod2g shows the process in the video above, but hasn’t — yet — included a release for the common man. But now that we know it can be done, it’s only a matter of time before we’ll have the tools to do it ourselves. [The Verge]

    What are people using jailbreak for these days except pirating?

    Every feature I jailbroke for is now baked in, I don’t even need SBSettings anymore with the deep linking of settings through safari.

      What about My3g, which disables 3G filtering? And not to forget customisable themes!

    Nah i use my jailbreaking for alot of UI cutomisations.. like using icons that are clear so i can actually see my background image, or 5 icon dock, so i can have 5 icons down the bottom.. makes it much easier to get to my most used apps! :)
