Apple announced a major software update for iDevices last week, iOS 5. The new firmware will introduce over 200 new features in iOS 5, and is expected to seriously impact the jailbreak community.

But jailbreakers haven’t skipped a beat since the beta version of iOS 5 rolled out last Monday. Within 24 hours of the release, jailbreak software was updated to support the new firmware. Now you can add Sn0wbreeze to that list of iOS 5 compatible tools…

As with the RedSn0w update, the Sn0wbreeze jailbreak for iOS 5 beta is only available in tethered form. This means you’ll need to be by a computer during reboots, as you’ll essentially have to re-jailbreak each time the device restarts.

This shouldn’t be too big of deal for the time being though, since the only ones who are supposed to have copies of iOS 5 are developers (and even they’re not really supposed to be using it on their main device).

But nevertheless, folks who are running the beta and are looking for a way to jailbreak it, check out Sn0wbreeze. The easy to use software works with all iOS 5 compatible devices, except the iPad 2 of course, and enables you to play with new tweaks like UISettings.

Sn0wbreeze 2.8b1 is for Windows only and can be downloaded here.

RIM issued a press release to announce the launch of the BlackBerry PlayBook in 16 countries within the next 30 days.

Neighbours Singapore and Indonesia are among the 16 countries listed. But, sadly, Malaysia not in the list.
At last count, Malaysia has as many BlackBerry users as Indonesia, both with around 1 million users. We’re wondering why the discrimination? Surely local PlayBook hopefuls are bitterly disappointed by this news.

Anyways, listed below is the full 16 countries getting the PlayBook in the next 30 days.

UK
Spain
France
Netherlands
Germany
Italy
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
UAE
India
Hong Kong
Singapore
Indonesia
Australia
Mexico
Colombia

A couple days ago, the Dev Team released the first jailbreak for iOS 5 beta 1, via RedSn0w 0.9.8b1, a tool that was Mac only until today. Dev Team frontman MuscleNerd tweeted moments ago that RedSn0w 0.9.8b1 is now also compatible with Windows.

Like we mentioned when we first reported about this latest version of RedSn0w, jailbreaking iOS 5 is recommended for developers only as many jailbreak apps are “broken” and do not work properly for the time being…

If you’re still tempted to have a glimpse at the new awesome jailbreak apps that are being developed for iOS 5, then go ahead, but at least you’ve been warned. Of course, you will need to already be running iOS 5 beta 1, and then use RedSn0w to jailbreak.

This jailbreak will work with all devices that can run iOS 5, except for the iPad 2. We hear Comex might revive JailbreakMe and come back with an iPad 2 jailbreak so don’t lose hope to see Cydia running soon on this device.
