just wanted to make known to those with iPod Touches/iPads/iPhones: comex (author of Spirit jailbreak) has released a new jailbreak, called JailbreakMe 2.0 "Star". Its incredibly simple to use, simply navigate to [www.jailbreakme.com] on your iDevice and you'll be presented with a screen saying "Slide to jailbreak". Slide the bar accross and after a minute or two a popup will appear saying Cydia has been added to the home screen. And that's it. (This is practically the same as the original jailbreak, which also used the same address, hence this is JailbreakMe 2.0).

Note that some are reporting issues with MMS after jailbreaking with this method, but apart from that, most seems to be fine. You can always restore your iDevice in iTunes if you experience issues. Make sure to sync before trying it. Some are also reporting that when attempting the jailbreak, they get stuck with a purple screen, but simply rebooting and trying again generally seems to work in this instance. Worst case scenario appears to be needing a restore in iTunes.

Also bear in mind, this is now completely legal in the US, due to the new DMCA exceptions. And the simplicity of the jailbreak means people can go into Apple stores and jailbreak all the iPhones and iPads there :P

Heck. Yes.

This method is pretty awesome.

Hopefully I'll be in an Apple store before they release an update to fix this, as I'm sure devices in Apple stores will all be updated as soon as its released...
