This is just a quick heads-up : the iPhone Dev Team has made a small update on the iPad 2 jailbreak saying it's under works and undergoing hard development. There's already a tussle between limerain developer, Geohot and greenpoison developer, Posixninja to dump iPad 2, on the other side there's Comex of iPhone Dev Team is working on his userland exploit to jailbreak iPad 2 too. The updates regarding iPad 2 jailbreak come today from iPhone dev team side, check it out after the jump.

TinyUmbrella, a tool that helps save iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple TV SHSH blobs regardless of whether your iDevice is jailbroken, has been updated to version 4.33.00. This new version supports iOS 4.3.3 (GSM) and iOS 4.2.8 (CDMA). In case you are not aware what saving your SHSH Blobs actually does, it allows you to downgrade your iOS firmware to a lower version. This is important if you accidentally update to a iOS firmware version that cannot be jailbroken, as Apple prevents this otherwise.

The iPhone Dev Team have  the ultrasnow unlock for iPhone has been updated to support with iOS 4.3.3.

iOS 4.3.3 was released couple of hours ago, Comex confirmed that iOS 4.3.3 can be jailbreak tethered with i0n1c's exploit, now Dinod7, entrepreneur in iDevices jailbreak, has just performed a tethered jailbreak on iOS 4.3.3 and it has been successful. The current version of redsnow 0.9.6 is a tethered jailbreak only, which means that you will have to boot your iDevice in tethered state on every reboot. Follow the redsnow jailbreak guide given below.

This is just a quick warning for all of you unlockers out there. If you rely on an unlock you should stay away from iOS 4.3.3 firmware update as it is not safe. If you plan to untether jailbreak your iDevice in the near future do not press the update button and when a new untethered iOS 4.3.3 jailbreak is released. Apple has patched all possible exploits except i0n1c's exploit used in redsnow 0.9.6 rc14 in this firmware update.

For those of who want to jailbreak, redsnow 0.9.6 rc14 can jailbreak the iOS 4.3.3 firmware tethered since Apple didn't patch i0n1c's exploit. Generally whenever a new firmware update is released previous versions of redsnow and previous versions of the Pwnagetool will jailbreak a new firmware tethered. If you really cannot hold off and want to update to the iOS 4.3.3 firmware you can do so by simply pointing Redsnow to the iOS 4.3.2 firmware while you are actually running the iOS 4.3.3 firmware on your iDevice.

There are some noticeable cosmetic changes, but nonetheless, Icy is still the same.
