Apple released iOS 5 Beta 6 to developers last Friday, and the latest beta software has already been jailbroken with Sn0wBreeze. The Dev Team has now released RedSn0w 0.9.8b6 "Jetblue Edition" for a tethered jailbreak on iOS 5 Beta 6.
iOS 5 Beta 6 is one of the last beta verisons expected to be released before the final GM build of iOS 5 next month.
The Sn0wBreeze jailbreak tool has been updated to version 2.8b6 with support for iOS 5 Beta 6. This jailbreak is Windows only.
If you don't know how to use Sn0wbreeze, check out our tutorial. This jailbreak is mostly tethered, except for the old-bootrom iPhone 3GS. This version of Sn0wBreeze will also let you install the jailbreak on a copy of iOS 5 Beta 6 without a registered UDID.
Apple released iOS 5 Beta 6 yesterday to developers. What we hadn't confirmed, until now, is the expiration date of the latest beta release.
As you may know, all iOS beta versions that Apple releases have an expiration date, and past this expiration date, devices that haven't been updated will be disabled, that is, at least until they're updated to a newer version...
A subtle change has been noticed in the iOS 5 beta. Apparently, Apple is changing the way that developers can access an iDevice's unique identifier number. For those unfamiliar with the concept, a 'UDID' allows developers to identify app users on a specific, device by device basis.
In iOS 5, Apple is no longer allowing developers access to an iDevice's UDID, but instead allowing developers to create app-specific UDIDs. This basically means that mobile ad and game networks won't have access to your device's specific number for tracking and inventory, which is the means that these systems have always worked off of in the past.
As most of you know already, Apple released iOS 5 Beta 6 to developers earlier today. While we've been able to confirm that the new software is jailbreak-safe, we haven't been able to uncover any major, new features.

Sn0wBreeze 2.8 Beta 5 has been released by iH8snow for Windows users. This version jailbreaks iOS 5 Beta 5, and also includes a few handy features along the way.
This is a tethered jailbreak. A notable feature in this release is the abiltiity to install iOS 5 and skip the UDID developer check, meaning you don't have to be a developer to install the iOS 5 beta (providing you have the firmware downloaded)...
iCloud for Windows Beta 4 was released alongside iOS 5 Beta 5 and iTunes 10.5 Beta 5 last week. Here’s a quick look at some of the features.
The installation process is pretty straight forward and standard for Apple. I installed iCloud on two of my PCs running Windows 7. One thing I found awkward about this process was that one of my computers needed restarting before using iCloud, while the other was set to go right away...
This Fall season is going to be huge for a certain Cupertino company. With several product refreshes expected along with a new mobile OS and cloud storage system launch, it's safe to say that Apple has a big couple of months ahead of them.
Apple hit a couple of semi-major milestones yesterday in their march for September. They released version 5 of their iOS 5 Beta, and they also gave the green light for developers to start migrating their MobileMe accounts over to iCloud...
