Thanks to developer comex JailbreakMe 3.0 has been released and is the simplest, fastest and easiest way to jailbreak your Apple iOS device. Nevertheless, for those who are looking for instructions and would like to preview the process before they go ahead, here is a tutorial.

- iPad 2: 4.3.3
- iPhone 3GS: 4.3 through 4.3.3
- iPhone 4: 4.3 through 4.3.3
- Verizon iPhone 4: 4.2.6 through 4.2.8
- iPod touch 3g: 4.3, 4.3.2, 4.3.3
- iPod touch 4g: 4.3 through 4.3.3
