GeoHot to Jailbreak iPad 2
« on: May 05, 2011, 04:45:29 PM »


 
P0sixninja, who’s working on iPad 2 jailbreak with tweeted that GeoHot has accepted his challenge to see who can dump the iPad 2 bootrom first. p0sixninja recently noted that jailbreaking the A5 chipset  loaded iPad 2 is a demanding, time consuming and difficult task. Only a  few have the patience, time and skill to do.


This is what P0sixninja tweeted:


@p0sixninja: I challenged geohot to dump the iPad 2 bootrom before me. Maybe having a worthy opponent will motivate me to work harder =P


@p0sixninja: he accepted, he said he didn’t have an iPad yet but he’s getting one really soon


Looks like Geohot, the father of first iPhone unlock,BlackSn0w,Blackra1n and Limera1n, is returning to surprise the jailbreak community by jailbreaking iPad 2(although he doesn’t have an iPad 2 yet.).


Indeed a great news for all those waiting for an iPad 2 jailbreak. We’ll update you as we know more about the iPad 2 jailbreak and GeoHot come back. Stay Tuned!

Why would he even bother with that? Geohot didn't learn his lesson the first time???

And the Apple iPad 2 isn't actually a mobile (cellular) device so it doesn't fall under the president that jailbreaking cellular devices is legal.

So im going to predict that he gets sued by Apple.

he can get away with an ipad 2 if he buys an ipad 2 3g on att or verizon as then its classed as a cellular device and the fact that it would mean the wifi only one could be jb'ed as well is just a lucky coincidence. the only one he could maybe get in trouble for is if he whent after the ipod touch or ipod nano
