The first jailbreak for the iPhone 4 and iOS 4.0 has been released, and it’s available now via mobile Safari.
What is JailBreakMe?
JailBreakMe 2.0 is a tool for jailbreaking not only the iPhone 4, but any iPhone running iOS 4.0.1 or below and any iPad running iOS 3.2.1 or below.
Simply put- A jailbreak is simply the ability to run apps and use themes and tweaks not approved by Apple.
Jailbreaking doesn't slow down your device or use any extra battery. A jailbreak lets your device be how you want it.
As always, we want to remind you that jailbreaking your iPhone will void its warranty, even if it is now legal. Initial reports seem to indicate that JailbreakMe does indeed work properly, if you can get through the website’s currently slammed servers.
Jailbreaking your iOS device may be officially permitted under the DMCA, but that presumes there’s a jailbreak out there to run. Happily, anyone with an iOS 3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0, 4.0.1 or iPad 3.2.1 device now has a super-straightforward way to jailbreak, thanks to comex’s new JailBreakMe site.
Doing so is as easy as visiting http://jailbreakme.com/ on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and sliding the appropriate control. Right now the site is up and down as eager users attempt to access it, so you may be better off waiting a while.
Of course it’s also worth remembering that, while the DMCA says it’s okay, Apple says jailbreaking your device will nonetheless invalidate your warranty. As with any hack, attempt it at your own risk!
