The good news if is you own an iPhone 3GS, GSM version of the iPhone 4, third- or fourth-generation iPod Touch, or first-gen iPad. The Apple TV 2 can also be jailbroken, but only with the PwnageTool at the moment. Sadly, it’s a no-go for iPad 2 users–you would need to use a bootroom or an iBoot-level expolit hack. Also, the iPad 2 is “not susceptible to either the limera1n or SHAtter bootrom exploits”.
Also, those using ultrasn0w to hack their devices are strongly advised against updating, as there are still a few fixes to be made to allow support. Plus, when there are updates, ultrasn0w users should use a custom IPSW rather than stock, else the jailbreak will get lost.
If you don’t own an iPad 2 or use ultrasn0w, futher details on how to unlock your iDevices are available from the Dev-Team Blog, including how-tos for jailbreak newbies.
The usual disclaimer: Hack at your own risk: Only tinker with your phone if you are confident you know what you are doing. You may void your warranty and/or brick your phone if something goes wrong. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
