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. Although there’s still “lots of work left,” the untethered exploit will support Apple’s second-generation tablet.
“The good news is that the iPhone Dev-Team is hard at work on developing a jailbreak solution for the iPad 2 under iOS 5… A second generation iPad running iOS 5 has indeed been jailbroken, though as MuscleNerd notes, this is …

When you’re playing a game on your iPhone or trying to focus on the finer details of a picture, it’s always helpful to be able to easily zoom in on your display. With new Cydia tweak ZoomIsBack!, jailbreakers can emulate the iOS 4 mobile operating system’s tap-to-zoom feature in the recently-released iOS 5, which eschews this function in favor of the similar pinch-to-zoom.
“Missing iOS 4?s double tap to zoom feature? If so, ZoomIsBack! is the jailbreak tweak you’ve been needing,” writes Jeff Benjamin in a Thursday review for iDownloadBlog. “As …

“The simple process of downloading and reading (Steve Jobs’) biography, is, …

iOS 5’s Notification Center was built as a place for push notifications and weather updates, but with new jailbreak tweak WeeCompose, users can send emails and text messages from inside the new feature.

“Originally designed by Apple to offer a new home for push notifications, email messages and anything else that pops up on-screen, Notification Center is also home to a Stocks and Weather widget as standard. The …
