Leak Says iPad 2 Jailbreak Will Arrive Tonight At 6:17:11PM [Update: Fake!]

The iPad 2 jailbreak we’ve all long been waiting for could arrive as early as this evening.

According to Nexus404, the image above briefly popped up on JailbreakMe creator comex’s Twitter feed last night, then just as quickly disappeared.

I was on comex’s Twitter about an hour ago when he posted a single image link. I was surprised to see it was what appears to be a flyer for his new jailbreak? When I reloaded the Twitter page it was gone completely. I still had the image in another tab, though, so I saved it to my computer. Perhaps this wasn’t intended to get out yet or maybe there was a delay? I don’t know, I’m just looking at the image unsure if he’s really intending to release it tomorrow or not. This is certainly weird.

As you can see in the image, the jailbreak is promised tonight at 6:17:11PM GMT. Two iPad 2s make it clear this is an iPad 2 jailbreak.

This would be super easy to fake, so we’re not sold on this, but we’re also chomping enough at the bit for an iPad 2 jailbreak that we’re willing to be a little credulous.

No doubt about it, Comex has been teasing something big for a while, specifically in regards to a mystery project called “Elevator.” We also know that Comex had a working jailbreak exploit for the iPad 2 as early as late March. An iPad 2 jailbreak is coming. The only question is when.

Update: Looks like we were right to be skeptical, regardless of our hopefulness. This has now been pretty conclusively proven to be fake, and the actual arrival of the iPad 2 jailbreak is as far away as ever.
