Hackers have found ways to jailbreak Apple’s latest iPad and iOS 5.1 software. Apple forbids installing applications it has not approved, but hackers have found a way to do so. Apple discourages the practice, saying tampering voids the warranty. In January, the tool Absinthe A5 was released, which could jailbreak both the iPhone 4S and iPad running software versions just before iOS5.1. It took about 10 months to develop due to the difficulty the hacking group GreenPois0n found in trying to exploit the processor.”]
