14 DAY TRIAL // George Hotz, an internationally known blogger also referred to as geohot, has secured http://www.limera1n.com/, a web search has revealed. The hacker, notorious for his Blackra1n jailbreak tool, confirmed plans to release an iPad jailbreak tool on April 9th. Now, people believe limera1n is the next-generation (iPad) jailbreak solution from geohot, and that the tool is set to be released in the coming weeks.
A post over at the Modmyi forums reads:
“big rumour right here From different sources people know that Geohots new jailbreak will be called limera1n limera1n (from geohot) will jailbreak iPad and untether all devices. most likely coming out on April 30, when the iPad 3G comes out.”
Indeed, a simple search on DomainTools.com reveals that limera1n.com has been secured by geohot. The hacker posted evidence of his latest achievement on the iPhone OS 3.2 front earlier this month – the iPad, fully jailbroken! A picture of Apple’s Wi-Fi tablet, the only available model so far, shows the Cydia and Blackra1n icons right next to Apple-approved apps like Pandora, Twitterific, and Skype. Many believe he is now gearing up for the imminent release of his own “latest creation.” Should these rumors prove accurate, the code-savvy blogger may surprise the world by supporting more than one iPhone OS version, enabling both iPad and iPhone users to employ his hack.
Geohot’s Blackra1n jailbreak tool features an icon resembling a droplet of water colored dark grey. The limera1n logo is of the same shape and size, with a green-ish appearance. Should it materialize in the coming weeks, the rumored limera1n application is likely to sport an icon based on the green raindrop artwork.
Unlike George Hotz, the infamous iPhone Dev Team, which also delivers iPhone hacks, has been focused on iPhone OS 4.0 developer builds. Team member MuscleNerd has, so far, issued two announcements in light of updating the Team’s redsn0w jailbreak tool. The software is recommended for developer types only, as it is a long way from providing a 100% reliable hack.
