It is not only Apple that is not really happy because of users daring to jailbreak their devices. While it is completely legal and safe, if you know what you are doing, Apple, Amazon and other tablet and smartphone makers think they ought to control whatever is going on on your own device. Majority of jailbreak developers and users beg to disagree. It is the same case with the latest newcomer in tablet world: Amazon with their Android tablet, Kindle Fire. Amazon has previously announced that they wont encourage, nor prevent rooting of Kindle Fire, but it seems that they have changed their mind. The latest firmware update released by Amazon is apparently going against users who have already jailbroken their new tablets.

Another step toward iPhone 4S jailbreak finished

The famous jailbreak developer, Pod2G has solved another pressing issue needed for the next, untethered jailbreak for latest iPhone 4S. The problem solved is related to caching issues with iPhone 4S.

As Pod2G said, A5 caching is not a problem anymore. He solved this problem by simply doing an untether within one thread and at the same time flushing the so called D cache and I cache in a row, at the crucial points during the process. It took a great numbers of attempts before he succeeded with this approach and this wasn’t easy at all. Another interesting piece of news is that the founder and owner of Cydia app store, Jay Freeman known better as @Saurik in jailbreak community has helped Pod2G in a important way. Saurik is definitely one of the best iOS developers today. No wonder he is the driving force in the world of iPhone and iPad jailbreaking!
