Chronic-Dev, one half of the Jailbreak Dream Team (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/20/absinthe-a5-jailbreak-released-for-iphone-4s-hacker-dream-team/) tweeted the announcement yesterday, adding that 211,401 of those freed were third-generation iPads (http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/16/apple-ipad-review-2012/). If you want to loosen your own Apple-branded handheld from the clutches of Cupertino's control, then the warranty-worrying software is still available -- with the promise that it's so easy, your grandma could do it.
