Apple seems to be at it again, trying to stop people from making or using jailbreaks and unlockers on their iDevices. Now the company is looking to the US Copyright Office for assistance and even going as far as using specious arguments to persuade them into helping. These arguments regarding software piracy and copyright infringement are not anything new that hasn’t already been addressed and shot down in the courts decision last July by federal regulators.

On Wednesday, Apple seeded the first beta of iOS 4.3 for the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Apple TV to developers. The new iOS 4.3 beta for the Apple TV enables devs to mess around with AirPlay functionality with iOS apps on the Apple TV – a much anticipated feature. To summarize it, users will gain the ability to send video from apps or websites to the Apple TV. In addition to the arrival of support for Personal Hotspot  to GSM phones (as rumored), iOS 4.3 delivers a new FaceTime icon as well as full-screen iAds. One of the more welcome changes is a new setting that gives users the ability More >

An Italian site contacted Comex today asking him whether he plans ot wait for Verizon iPhone 4 to launch and the next iOS release (which is iOS 4.3 / 4.2.5) before releasing is new untethered jailbreak. Comex swiftly responded that one month is too long a wait to keep the much anticipated untethered jailbreak from releasing.

So, if Apple releases iOS 4.2.5 on 10 February, you’ll preserver your new tool and exploits for that firmware? Maybe this will be a good move. Dev Team and Chronic Dev are releasing their tools for iOS 4.2.1, your can be saved for the future too.

A recent tweet from Joshua Hill of Chronic Dev Team suggests that the team has decided to work on their “GreenPois0n” tool to make it support an untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G, and iPad running iOS 4.2.1.
