Hackers have already announced iPad mini jailbreak in just under 24 hours of its release. iOS hacker MuscleNerd has tweeted a screenshot image from his iPad mini that shows the device running terminal. MuscleNerd’s iPad mini is also showing ‘root#’ on it, which means that the hackers have made significant progress on jailbreaking this recently released Apple gadget. In his tweet MuscleNerd has mentioned the word ‘failbreak’ and has suggested to check @planetbeing’s timeline. The term failbreak was used by @planetbeing in the tweet in which he announced that the new iPhone 5 has been jailbreaked and he has been able to run tweaks on it, but the jailbreak process on the device requires a developer account. A developers account costs $99 per year and not everyone can have one which makes the current jailbreaking solution not practical.
