Today Comex has officially released the new web-based jailbreak for iOS 4.3.3. It supports all devices including iPad 2.

The jailbreak uses a PDF exploit similar to old JailbreakMe and does not require your device to be connected to the computer.

To jailbreak, navigate to http://www.jailbreakme.com on your iOS device after updating to iOS 4.3.3 (if you do not need unlock). We will be posting detailed instructions shortly.

Here is the list of devices and iOS versions that are supported:

• iPad 1: iOS 4.3 - 4.3.3
• iPad 2: iOS 4.3.3
• iPhone 3GS: iOS 4.3 - 4.3.3
• iPhone 4 GSM: iOS 4.3 - 4.3.3
• iPhone 4 CDMA: iOS 4.2.6 - 4.2.8
• iPod Touch 3G: iOS 4.3, 4.3.2, 4.3.3
• iPod Touch 4G: iOS 4.3 - 4.3.3

Step by step JailbreakMe tutorials:

• iPad 1
• iPad 2
• iPhone 3GS
• iPhone 4
• iPod Touch 3G
• iPod Touch 4G

Comex's jailbreak based on new PDF exploit was unofficially leaked recently. It looks like it will be released quite soon. Currently Jailbreakme.com shows the "coming soon" yellow sticky, that looks like the sticky Apple puts on its store right before new products hit the virtual shelves.

The new jailbreak is mostly for Apple iPad 2 users, because all other devices can be jailbroken with existing tools.

Hacker Comex has updated JailbreakMe.com site, which might mean that much anticipated iPad 2 jailbreak is on its way.

The website features a list of git commits dating all the way back to August 2010. It looks like Comex has been working on the jailbreak for one year. He didn't specify any dates. We will keep you updated.

Have you ever wanted to display something on your iPad to external big screen? Here's a quick video tutorial how to do that:

Some users say that they have problems, while trying to use the JailbreakMe.com service. They simply can not browse the site! We decided to solve this issue, so you can unlock iPod touches, iPads and iPhones. Follow these instructions to achieve a positive result!

Step 1: Instead of typing http://www.jailbreakme.com, enter http://jailbreakme.com/index.html, it will take you directly to the site that really works.

Step 2: If the above does not work, use the Canadian extension as follows http://www.jailbreakme.ca. App Advice claims that it is a mirror redirecting you to the current website version.

In addition, remember that JailbreakMe will work only on your Apple devices, running on iOS 3.2.1/iOS 4.0.1 or below.

According to the first-hand information in China, China Unicom is currently advertising services for jailbreaking when you buy the iPhone 4. Quite intriguing, right? Thanks to online services such as Jailbreakme.com, jailbreaking has become much easier and it seems that the Chinese carrier of cell phones can realize this service, turning it into a great marketing scheme.

According M.I.C. Gadget, the advertisement is as follows: "Support Service: Free SIM-trimming, jailbreaking, installing more than ten hot applications."

However, with jailbreaking, China Unicom also offers free cases for your iPhone 4 with purchase, so buyers will not have to use the Apple's case program.

As you may know, few days ago Apple had released a new version of iOS for all its mobile devices except first-generation iPhone and iPod touch, so owners of the latter are still not protected from a security flaw that allows hackers to obtain a remote control of their handsets. In fact, the latest compatible version for them is currently iOS 3.1.3.

But Saurik (who is known as a developer of Cydia) recently announced on the Dev-Team blog that he released a PDF patch that is compatible with any iOS version down to 2.x. It can be found in Cydia if you'll search for "PDF Patch". After installing it you can check if the patch is working properly with visiting jailbreakme.com page. After sliding the box to jailbreak you should only see the star background (and not a dialog box), which means you are no longer vulnerable.
