Apple Releases iOS 5.1.1
Apple has just recently released iOS 5.1.1 which comes with a whole host of bug fixes and not much more. If you’re on tethered jailbreak already, then you will be happy to know that there is a tethered jailbreak out already.

iOS 5 Brought To iPhone 2G And 3G Thanks To Whited00r
Still have your old iPhone 2G/3G somewhere or even using it as your daily runner still? Well for the latter we’d say the “waiting to upgrade” game has been won, but for both categories who are hungry for a taste of iOS 5 on their devices, never fear. A new jailbreak (yes it is a jailbreak, NOT A TWEAK) released today called Whited00r allows you to install a “heavily modified” version of 3.1.3 (the farthest 2G/3G iPhones and the first two gens of iPod Touch’s can go) which includes many of the features of 4.0 and more. iCloud has a custom setup however and Notifications Center is non existent. On the bright side of things if you messup with the jailbreak or just want to restore then you can just go back to the same firmware you had with no worries of Apple phasing out the restore for that IPSW. To see more about the Jailbreak go here.
