Comex jailbreak released

[DanTheManMS]

Doesn't really matter whether you enable multi-tasking or not. The reason you were holding back was for the jailbreak. Now there's a new revision for all iPods on iOS4 there's no reason to stay on 3.1.3

My personal reason is that everything IOS4 offers I can already do through jailbreaking, but better. Categories + CategoriesSB for folders, Backgrounder and Kirikae for *true* multitasking, and Winterboard for theming. Cydia also has a couple of apps for extended Bluetooth functionality, so no real gains there with IOS4. While some of these have been upgraded to work on IOS4, I still see no compelling need when it's been shown to slow down the device overall.

Regarding the jailbreak, glad to hear that another one has been found. I was a bit tipsy when I clicked the link from PlanetBeing's Twitter post, very glad I actually read the popup that appeared before blindly clicking "yes" hehe.

No real gain OTHER than iTunes not bitching at you to update to use your official apps.

I've used this jailbreak method to jailbreak my ipod touch 2G on 4.0, and now I've enabled multi-tasking and wallpaper support. There's nothing else I really want. It's nice to stick it to Jobs over the lack of multi-tasking support and wallpapers. It works fine on my ipod...

Well, he really just did it because he claims that multi-tasking won't work on the older processors.

Do you notice ANY lag at all? I never thought of this before.

It's quite obvious multitasking isn't natively supported on older models because they just want you to buy newer models. It works fairly well on older models but they're just trying to get oblivious Apple consumers to go "Oh, my iPod doesn't multitask, I must buy a new one now!"

I jailbroke my iPod Touch 2G using redsn0w FYI, although this seems a little simpler.

Does it work on iPad to?

Cause maybe my brother in law (who's in the US now) will bring an iPad 32G WiFi with him for me.
(He's lucky, he came to his hotel and on the table was an iPad 32G WiFi, free as welcome gift, from an American he met in Bruges (Belgium.)

(How i wish, i meet more ppl who have lotsa money)

to get multitasking on this one you need to edit the .plist
Which is nit really hard. but not as easy as let's sa... redsn0w

redsn0w makes it easier to enable multitasking/backgrounds etc., but this jailbreak is easier. If there was a Cydia app to enable multitasking, backgrounding and folders (shouldn't be hard AFAIK, as it just requires a simple plist edit), then JailbreakMe would be much better due to its simplicity...

Is this the same Comex who worked on Wii stuff? Also, is there an internet tethering unlock as well?

Yes. He seems to have been focusing more on iOS stuff recently.

Wandering around the Cydia store I've seen apps which let you toggle multitasking etc. on and off. Haven't bothered with them since I'm on a 3rd Gen with the higher processing power.

Also having trouble with some apps. Safari Download Manager for instance doesn't seem to like 4.0 and the preference loader can't load it into the settings menu correctly. The option is there but there's nothing in it.
