A few hours after its release iPhone developer i0n1c released a picture of his iPad 3 running Cydia on iOS 5.1.1. However, he seems unwilling to share his jailbreaks with the general public. i0n1c has been teasing the jailbreaking community with images of jailbroken iPads running iOS 5.1 since March, but at least he has proven it can be done.
