Comex’s JailbreakMe 3.0 is currently the only jailbreak to work with the iPad 2 computer tablet, but it looks like that exploit will have to make room for the iPhone Dev-Team’s upcoming iOS 5 jailbreak.

Ever since the iPhone 4S first came out, there have been complaints about the battery life. What we’re finding out now is that Apple themselves don’t know what’s causing it either,” writes Tim Worstall for Forbes. “Apple …
