Pod2g: One More Device to Test Until iOS 5.1.1 Jailbreak Release

Hacker Pod2g has confirmed new progress in his development of an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 on Apple devices built around the A5 chip.

In a message released to his 326K followers yesterday, the leader of the Chronic Dev Team said: “OK just added iPad3,3 support to Absinthe thanks to @flawlessfox. Only remains iPad2,4 now but we need the actual device.”

In other words, one device to go and Pod2g will roll out his much-anticipated untethered jailbreak to the masses. The hacker had previously considered holding off the release until iOS 6 was out, but he ceded to finally launch the hack, having seen immense demand from the iOS community.

There’s a good chance Apple will patch his jailbreak in an interim iOS 5.1.2 release.
