iOS 4.3.4 is out and has been jailbroken already using the latest Redsn0w 0.9.8b3 release by Dev Team. Unlike the previous jailbreaks for iPhone 4 / 3GS, iPod Touch & iPad on iOS 4.3.x, this one is a tethered jailbreak since the existing untethered venerability discovered by @i0n1c has been patched by Apple in iOS 4.3.4 along with the PDF vulnerability found in iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3 used in JailbreakMe 3.0 by @comex. Nonetheless, Limera1n exploit still works on iOS 4.3.4 for all devices except the iPad 2 which can be applied to jailbreak your device using the latest Redsn0w.

And here it is folks! The first working iOS 5 jailbreak solution is out as Dev-Team releases the latest version of Redsn0w i.e version 0.9.8. The updated tool can jailbreak iOS 5 beta 1 running on any iPhone 4 (GSM & CDMA) / iPhone 3GS, iPod touch 3G / 4G and iPad / iPad 2. However, the jailbreak is currently tethered meaning you need to plug it to your computer to run it in jailbroken mode, every time to reboot your device. Since @i0n1c’s untethered exploit is seemingly patched, there is no ETA as to when the untethered version will be released.
