Pod2g: Updated Corona Jailbreak Soon to Hit Cydia

Those who are anxiously anticipating the A5 jailbreak still have some waiting to do, but a forthcoming update to Corona should pique the interest of some existing jailbroken users.

The infamous Pod2g confirms on his blog that fellow hacker "@xvolks worked to include @comex sandbox patches into the Corona GIT. Expect a Corona update soon in Cydia that'll fix iBooks and other softwares having sandbox issues,” he writes.

He promises to update his blog when the update goes live. Pod2g’s post serves as an explanation to an older tweet by Xvolks who said yesterday, “With the invaluable help of @pod2g, I've patched the kernel in corona to make iBooks work without the ugly tweak called xBooks. Still no ETA.” At the time, it wasn’t clear what the ETA was for, but Pod2g’s post finally unraveled the mystery.

Pod2g and several other hackers are also actively working to jailbreak Apple’s A5 devices - the iPhone 4S and iPad 2.
