Jailbreaking an iOS powered device is very helpful for those looking to unlock the device’s full potential. Not only in many cases does it allow a consumer to use the device on a non authorized wireless carrier but it does so much more. In fact, it gives consumers access to a whole slew of underground mobile applications through the rogue app store known as Cydia.

Unfortunately for those who support the jailbreaking movement, with each reoccurring release of iOS comes a fix for whatever jailbreaking solution has currently been popularized. This can be the same for iOS 4.1 which is currently the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system currently on the market.

Luckily, everyone’s favorite hacker by the name of Geohot has come recently to show off his latest jailbreak which is fully compatible with iOS 4.1 dubbed Limera1n. Unfortunately for Mac users, Geohot’s Limera1n jailbreaking solution was only available for Windows powered computer when it was first released. However, we’re pleased to announce that the software is now available for Mac OS X as well.

To grab the download, just head to Geohot’s Limera1n website, here.

The “Fun Day” is arriving as Chronic Dev Team is working hard to release their first ever all iDevices jailbreak tool named GreenPois0n. It took them a while to release the Greenpois0n jailbreak as it was announced earlier this year but they were never able to push it out as promised.

Chronic Dev Team and their Greenpois0n were even blamed to be fake as they accepted donations but never made a release.

This achievement means that iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G, and iPad are jailbroken for life until Apple introduces hardware change in the devices by replacing the bootrom. Read More
