iPad 2 Jailbreak Possibly Coming via JailbreakMe.com Exploit

iPhone hacker @comex has tweeted this afternoon a cryptic teaser, hinting at a possible jailbreak coming for the iPad 2 and iOS 5.

For those who have never tried a JailbreakMe.com jailbreak, it exploits Mobile Safari allowing for the easiest and fastest jailbreak ever, and was available for iPad users on iOS 3.2.1. The downside is the loop holes are usually fixed easily by Apple, so it would make sense for @comex to release a potential jailbreak after iOS 5 final this Fall.

Check out the following image you’ll see when you visit JailbreakMe.com:

It appears the exploit is related to PDF files somehow. Stay tuned, as we’ll be sure to post more details if they arise.

With the beta release of iOS 5, I personally have no need to jailbreak my iPad 2.
