The beauty of jailbreaking your device is that it allows users to perform hacks on the device, and achieve functionality which are otherwise not possible or allowed. Here is one one such little hack which saves you from those repeated, irritating "password prompts" when you install anything from iTunes Appstore on your Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

Yesterday, we shared the news of snappier Google Chrome being available on Apple iOS platform. However, Apple iOS does not let users select there default web-browser of choice and would only launch mobile safari for links from apps. Thanks to the Cydia Tweak "BrowserChooser", a user can now select any web-browser as default including "Chrome for iOS".

A very good news for everybody using the "Tethered" or "SemiTethered Jailbreak" as finally the wait is over and we now have a Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 (no need to connect your device to a computer while rebooting), dubbed Corona 5.0.1 Untether the very small 44.6 KB only cydia tweak is all you need to get the untethered jailbreak on your iOS 5 apple device.

We all are eagerly waiting for the untethered iOS 5 jailbreak, and after the initial announcement by pod2g, some very good news is coming from his end as he confirmed tested, working untethered jailbreak on Apple iPad 1 and iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.01.

Despite some good signs on untethered jailbreak for iOS 5, there is no iOS 5 untethered jailbreak as of now. But thanks to a new tweak "SemiTether" at "Cydia" users can now boot their iDevices running jailbroken iOS 5 without needing a computer.

The semi-tethered jailbreak allows users reboot anywhere but with some limited functionality, "SemiTethred" users can use their phone, text, and many other features but will mostly sacrifice the "Cydia" tweaks which require a usual "Just Boot" re-exploit using "redsn0w".

If you have successfully jailbreaked your iDevice but ended up with an "White Cydia" icon - here is the solution.

The recently uploaded video by pod2g shows an jailbroken iPod Touch 3G running iOS 5.0, with an untether exploit in iOS 5. According to pod2g the exploit found by him is an "userland exploit", meaning we could soon see an easy-to-use browser based jailbreak. pod2g will now try to jailbreak 5.0.1 and then start working on the iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod Touch 4G, iPad 2 and iPhone 4S untethered jailbreak.
