iOS 4.1 jailbreak for iPod Touch 4G shown off

For those of us waiting for an iOS 4.1 jailbreak to be released, there may be some light at the end of the tunnel.

If you can’t live without having your iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 4G jailbroken, then I assume that you’re still stuck on iOS 4.0.1, since that’s the last jailbreakable version (for now). I can’t update my software yet either; I’ll lose the unlock that allows my iPhone to work on my preferred carrier, T-Mobile. But thankfully, we finally have some proper proof that a 4th gen iPhone/iPod Touch jailbreak solution really is being developed. And, it looks like it could be pretty close to a public release.

In the video below, it’s evident that the iPhone Dev Team has successfully jailbroken the latest version of the iPod Touch using a beta version of PwnageTool.

The Dev team mentioned that this was merely a test run using the iPod Touch 4G to make sure the exploit actually works on 4th Gen iDevices. Using PwnageTool on this device is “really overkill compared to the faster tools being developed. [SHAtter's] main use in PwnageTool will be for those with iPhone4’s, to allow updates while preserving the baseband and ultrasn0w carrier unlock. In any event, this is another exciting time for iPhone and iPod Touch users…the cat and mouse game continues!”

We may not have an official release date, but at least we have something to keep us sitting patiently in our seats. Hopefully we can see it out for public use in a week or two. Until then, I guess I will still be rocking 4.0.1 with pride.
