iOS 5 Beta 3 has been out for barely half a day, and it's already been confirmed that you can jailbreak Apple's latest beta release with RedSn0w. That's good news for jailbreakers, even if it is only a tethered jailbreak.
Don't get too excited, though. Because it seems that jailbreaking iOS 5 Beta 3 will result in you no longer being able to run apps from the App Store...
Good news for jailbreakers who happen to have a legit (or not) developer account and want to jailbreak the latest iOS 5 beta 3 firmware released earlier today. According to a tweet from MuscleNerd a few minutes ago, you can use RedSn0w to jailbreak iOS 5 beta 3.
In order to jailbreak your iDevice running iOS 5 beta 3, you will need to download the latest version of RedSn0w which was released about a month ago. All you need to do is point RedSnow to iOS 5 beta 1, instead of pointing it to beta 3...
Following the release of iOS 5 beta 3 earlier today, Apple also updated iTunes to version 10.5 beta 3. Needless to say that this update is for developers only, although it seems stable enough for anyone to use, assuming you know where to get it.
If you just downloaded iOS 5 beta 3, you will need to install iTunes 10.5 beta 3 in order to install the latest iOS version on your device. From what I see, iTunes 10.5 beta 3 is safe for jailbreakers so there is nothing to worry on that side...
Apple has released the third developer beta for iOS 5 in its dev channel. iTunes 10.5 Beta 3 has also been made available and is required for syncing with iOS 5 Beta 3.
Just a heads up for you guys, notcom has announced his latest update to TinyUmbrella - now supporting iOS 5 Beta 2.
TinyUmbrella is widely used by many, predominantly in the jailbreak community to save their SHSH blobs. To put it simply, if you don't save your SHSH and Apple stops signing for that particular firmware, you won't be able to restore your iPhone to older firmware versions through iTunes...
The Gevey SIM is an interposer tool that has been legally questionable by many. You might use a Gevey SIM to unlock your iPhone 4 and might have noticed that Apple has blocked the exploit in iOS 5 Beta 2.
Fortunately. the folks over at RedmondPie found a workaround to getting the Gevey SIM to work on iOS 5 Beta 2. In this method, we will show you how to unlock your iPhone 4 running iOS 5 beta 2 with a Gevey SIM...
Apple seeded the 2nd beta of their iOS 5 software to developers last Friday. As typical of any new iOS firmware release, we have been asked if the new update can be jailbroken and unlocked.
Though we've heard the disappointing news that the new firmware has patched the Gevey SIM unlock, the software is certainly still jailbreakable. RedSn0w was the first to announce compatibility with the new beta, but Sn0wBreeze wasn't far behind...
The Gevey SIM allows you to unlock your iPhone without the need of a jailbreak. The SIM card force activates the iPhone's baseband by exploiting the emergency dialer function.
Apple released iOS 5 Beta 2 last night, and it appears that the Gevey SIM is now blocked from working in this second iOS build. It's suspected that Gevey will try to battle Apple's patching of its interposer while iOS 5 is still in the beta testing stages.
Apple released iOS 5 Beta 2 to developers last night. The big highlights in iOS 5 Beta 2 include the added Wi-Fi sync functionality that Apple promised at WWDC, and the ability to restore from an iCloud backup during setup.

Folks, are you excited? We surely are, because we just got our hands on iOS 5 beta 2, and we've been able to go hands on with Wi-Fi sync.
Let me tell you, it works gloriously. I know this is sort of an overused mantra, especially in the Apple space, but it just works.
Anyone who's familiar with the jailbreak implementations of wireless syncing will be right at home with Apple's iteration of Wi-Fi syncing, and unsurprisingly, it's even simpler with Apple at the helm.

Apple just dropped iOS 5 Beta 2, and, of course, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: can we jailbreak it?
The answer came from Dev Team frontman MuscleNerd who confirmed that it is still possible to jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 2 using the latest version of RedSn0w, the same that was released a couple weeks ago to jailbreak iOS 5 Beta 1...
