iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak released by the Chronic Dev team The Chronic Dev Team has just released their latest version of the iOS 4.2.1 jailbreak. This version is untethered, meaning you can reboot (power off, then on) your phone without having to use your computer. GreenPois0n RC5 works with all iOS devices running 4.2.1 – the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, but GreenPois0n only works with Mac computers at the moment, so Windows/Linux users, you’re out of luck in the mean time. For those of you with Macs and are keen on jailbreaking the latest version of iOS on your iOS device, head over to the GreenPois0n site or hit up Bit-torrent to look for the file, as the official GreenPois0n site is down at the moment. Let us know if it works for you. Though with iOS 4.3 just around the corner, I doubt anybody would bother with this jailbreak.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

iOS: was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
