A later picture, shown below, shows Cydia running on the jailbroken device. This jailbreak was said to require a <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/24/tethered-jailbreak-vs-untethered-jailbreak/">tethered boot</a> on an iPod touch 4th gen.</p> <p><span id="more-17085"></span></p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/cydia-on-ios-5.jpg" alt="Cydia on jailbroken iPod touch with iOS 5" title="cydia-on-ios-5" width="340" height="510" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17092" /></p> <p>For the speed alone this is an impressive feat, and obviously the longstanding limera1n vulnerability was not patched by Apple yet, but with many of the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/06/ios-5-features/">new iOS 5 features</a> is jailbreaking as useful anymore? This was part of the argument that iOS 5 and the eventual iPhone 5 <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/05/27/is-apple-going-to-kill-jailbreaking-with-ios-5/">would kill jailbreaking</a> by matching some of the most desired features, and WWDC showed many of these off: new notifications management, volume button as a camera shutter, LED flash as a call indicator, improved lock screens, etc.</p> <p>For many users these new features might just be enough for them to avoid jailbreaks, but for those that demand hardcore customizations or just like to tinker, jailbreaking likely won’t be going anywhere. </p> <p><a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/06/ios-5-release-date-fall-2011/">iOS 5 gets a public release this fall</a>.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iZ-_XpP7LxlHCxJQSKHNVw1oU00/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iZ-_XpP7LxlHCxJQSKHNVw1oU00/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iZ-_XpP7LxlHCxJQSKHNVw1oU00/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/iZ-_XpP7LxlHCxJQSKHNVw1oU00/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=zeRk_bU43cA:9u3EbLvaAHs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=zeRk_bU43cA:9u3EbLvaAHs:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=zeRk_bU43cA:9u3EbLvaAHs:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=zeRk_bU43cA:9u3EbLvaAHs:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=zeRk_bU43cA:9u3EbLvaAHs:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=zeRk_bU43cA:9u3EbLvaAHs:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=zeRk_bU43cA:9u3EbLvaAHs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/zeRk_bU43cA" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
