At some point after (don’t ask when!) the iPad 3G is actually in customers’ hands, the first “userland” jailbreak since firmware 1.x will be released by @comex. It’s called “Spirit” and was first demonstrated working on an iPad by @MuscleNerd within 24 hours of the iPad’s release on April 3.
Userland jailbreaks are more troublesome for Apple since they expose security weaknesses that exist even for non-jailbroken owners. As such, Apple is likely to close them soon after they’re made public. One recent example of this is the SMS vulnerability exposed at Blackhat last summer. Apple released new firmware to close that hole within a day. Read more…

Apparently, GeoHot is working on a new tool, called Limera1n. There is no word on “the streets” about the tool, so we don’t know for sure what is this all about. It could be a new jailbreaking/unlocking tool for 3.1.3 , but we tend to think that it will run on OS 4.0 and it will include the iPad as well. RC1 of the tool might be released right after the iPad 3G launch, followed by RC2, RC3 which will include iPhone 4G ( just a presumption ). That’s all we know at the moment. Keep an eye on limera1n.com . We will keep you updated. Stay tuned…
