Acidsnow for 5.0.1 / 5.0 for iPhone 4 3GS iPad and iPod Touch 4G

Acidsnow is the newest jailbreak tool, and it was released just a few hours ago by the developers at PwnDevTeam. Like any new tweak and jailbreak tool, Acidsnow is a great addition to every jailbreaker’s kit.

Acidsnow doesn’t bring any extra features at this time if you compare it with the already existing tools like Redsnow and Snowbreeze, but it looks like it will bring some extra functionalities in the near future.

With the future updates of Acidsnow jailbreakers will be able to perform remote jailbreaking, custom IPSW creation and iRecivery remote.

The bad news is that Acidsnow for 5.0.1 / 5.0 is available for Mac users only, but it looks like the future updates will bring Windows, Linux and BSD support.

Acidsnow for iOS 5.0.1 /5.0 currently provides a tethered jailbreak just like Redsnow and Snowbreeze and doesn’t yet provide baseband preservation, so if you’re an unlocker than I suggest

that you use the other above mentioned tools instead of Acidsnow

Acidsnow supports the following iDevices:
