Dev-Team Launch New Jailbreak For iPhone and iPad

@comex from the iPhone Dev-Team has released a new jailbreak for the iPhone.

The team says it will jailbreak all iOS4 devices, including the new iPhone 4.

And it's all done through the Safari web-browser on the iPhone.

Head over to www,jailbreakme.com on your iPhone and follow the instructions.

@comex is the hacker behind the previous Spirit jailbreak.

The jailbreak will install an app called Cydia on your phone, which you can use to load hundreds of applications not approved by Apple.
If you need to unlock your iPhone from a network carrier, download an app called Ultrasn0w from Cydia and follow the instructions. Ultrasn0w at the moment unlocks the iPhone 3G and 3GS. An update to unlock the iPhone 4 will be released "within 48 hours".

iClarified have drawn up instructions on how to use JailbreakMe

It comes just days after the US law-making body - The Library of Congress - declared that jailbreaking is legal.

I've used the new jailbreak on my iPhone 4 running iOS4.0.1 and can report no issues.

It also works to jailbreak the iPad. The method is exactly the same. It worked on my iPad running the latest 3.2.1 iOS software.

As always, there's the warning that you could invalidate the Apple warranty on your device.

A carrier unlock to use your iPhone with any network SIM will be released "within 48 hours".

Update: Some users have reported that the initial release of the new jailbreak broke MMS and FaceTime on their iPhones. JailbreakMe has now been updated to solve these problems.
If you jailbroke before the update, the fix to get FaceTime and MMS working is to relaunch Cydia app and accept the automatically offered update.
