Posixninja and pod2g have discovered the first exploit of the A4 chip which makes it possible to execute a tethered jailbreak on iOS 4.1. SHAtter will jailbreak your iPod Touch 4G, iPhone 4 and iPad for Life! It is the same way of jailbreaking as Geohot discovered but unfortunately he left the jailbreaking community a view months ago. Well known hackers in the jailbreaking scene such as MuscleNerd have confirmed on Twitter that “That latest exploit from @pod2g confirmed to work beyond iPhone4…also on at least iPad and yesterday’s iPod4G too” and works with the newest iOS 4.1.

It is not yet available because they are still working on it and doing some tests, so don’t assuming there is a jailbreak “yet”, but it looks promising.

This kind of exploit can only be fixed if Apple updates it’s hardware, that means we are save for now.
