Limera1n brings jailbreaking to iOS 4.1, divides jailbreak community

Filed under: Utilities, iPhoneThe iPhone jailbreaking community is all fired up about limera1n, a new jailbreak for iPhones and iPod Touches running iOS 4.1. Limera1n works, but our pals at Engadget are reporting that it appears to be a quick, buggy release by notorious jailbreaker Geohot, upstaging the even more notorious iPhone Dev Team.

The jailbreaking community is divided on this hasty exploit, because it's forcing the iPhone Dev Team to delay a release, lest Apple kill Geohot's limera1n and the Dev Team's upcoming release with one software update. Meanwhile, greenpois0n, an earlier hack from another group called Chronic Dev Team, will start using limera1n's code.

If you've previously unlocked your iPhone using the Dev Team's ultrasn0w, limera1n may re-lock it. Even if this is your first jailbreak, you'll want to proceed with caution when using limera1n. Engadget found that the icons for some stock Apple apps were missing after the jailbreak.
