The hackers have been teasing us for weeks, but today have finally made good on a new jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1, coinciding with Hack in the Box conference taking place today in Amsterdam.

The Chronic-Dev Team and iPhone Dev Team (collectively known as the “Jailbreak Dream Team”) have announced the availability of Absinthe 2.0, a sequel to their earlier jailbreak effort which now promises to support almost every iOS 5.1.1 device -- including the new iPad. One notable exception is the third-generation Apple TV, which has proven more difficult to crack. (The team also notes more recent $399 iPad 2 models will be supported at a later date.)

“After copious amounts of work and many sleepless nights Absinthe 2.0 is finally here to jailbreak your device,” the team announced on the Greenpois0n website Friday morning. “This jailbreak supports firmware 5.1.1 ONLY and is again one of the most easiest jailbreaks to use (so easy your grandma could do it ;D).”
