A tethered jailbreak is a term in which if for some reason you need to restart your jailbreaked iPhone you need your iPhone attached to a computer to assist with the booting sequence. Some users of iPhone tethered jailbreak is always worried that their iPhone might run out of battery or suddenly froze and that will require cold boot.. worry no more untethered jailbreak is here.

A new jailbreak tool named “Spirit” is now available which allows you to modify the iPhone OS to enable tethering or run apps not approved by Apple through appstore. The “Spirit” jailbreak works with all three iPhone OS powered iDevices such as iPhone 3.1.2 and 3.1.3, iPod touch 2G/3G, and the new iPad 3.2.

Speaking of iPad, the Spirit author mentioned that for iPad jailbreak is still in beta version which might resulted to some apps can cause problems for the device. I guess this must be something to do with Cydia, which is primarily designed for iPhone and using it for iPad might break some apps.

Also, you need to know that “Spirit” is for jailbreaking only and won’t unlock your iPhones this means you’re stuck with carriers supported by Apple (e.g. AT&T, etc.). You might also need to review the Apple terms that might break warranty or discontinue your mobile phone service by doing this process.

Today is the day to either purchase the new iPhone 3G S or upgrade. I checked Apple website to see if Im eligible for upgrade unfortunately the webpage crashes and return Java error message this is maybe due to the load.. oh well I’ll do it again tomorrow.
