Ladies and gentlemen, the real untethered iOS 5.0.1 jailbreak y’all been waiting for is finally out and ready to open a wide range of your personal Apple iDevices (including iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 1, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 4G), except the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, which carry inside an upgraded A5 chipset. No sign as to when these two might get their own jailbreaking release, but be sure we’ll have this one sooner rather than later. Those with the pre-A5 machines can use a combination of tools to approach their hack, such as Pwnage Tool,  redsn0w 0.9.10, and Chronic Devteam’s Cydia package (look for “Corona”).

Did you really expect the iPad 3G release to go by without a drop of an unconventional dissection? And even though it’s been only one day since Apple’s 3G tablet officially arrived to retail stores, it’s still pretty surprising how quick the good guys at iFixit has managed to get one of their own and tear it down all the way, down to the bone. It’s not that we’re completely in shock, after all we’ve already seen them doing exactly the same thing with the regular iPad, along with the FCC guys, not long ago, but it’s always intriguing to see internal parts widely spread in front of your eyes. Heading to the nitty gritty part, the iPad 3G apparently packs five different antennas inside (including one in Apple logo), paired with Infineon’s baseband processor, you can find in iPhone 3GS devices, and of course, Cupertino’s latest A4 CPU. For more parts and images, just click the link below and dive in, to watch the entire process step-by-step, toe to toe.

Some of you might already know this, some might not, so here goes: today, April 30th at 5PM, is the day that Apple’s 3G iPad tablet is finally expected to make a debut and officially come up on retails stores. Those who already pre-ordered should go and track their package, as it’s probably hanging somewhere, or already traveling straight to your door. Prices, if you’re asking, start at $629 for the 3G 16GB version and climb up to $829 for the 64GB flavor. Happy iPad 3G day!

Apple has just updated its online store with new details about current iPad 3G shipping dates, which are now scheduled for May 7 and in some cases even earlier (if you happen to live in the US and lucky enough to pre-order one). That said, we still don’t have any official indication for an international iPad debut in the horizon, although it’s been said few times before it’s likely to be held somewhere around the end of May.

Update: Looks like yesterday’s update was a mistake, and iPad’s 3G version is now said to arrive to US stores on Friday, April 30th – a week earlier than expected.
