OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview 2

Apple has released OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview 2. The new build is 12A154q, available to registered Mac developers via a redemption code exclusively through the Mac App Store. Presumably, the focus of Developer Preview 2 is bug fixes, and no new features are yet known.

OS X Mountain Lion will be released to the public this summer, and includes a AirPlay Mirroring, iMessages for Mac, Notification Center, Game Center, further iCloud integration, and a variety of other changes and refinements to Mac OS X. If you’re not a developer, you can get a lot of the Mountain Lion features in OS X Lion right now by combing third party tools and apps.

iPad 3 Jailbroken Already

Jailbroken iPad 3

The new iPad 3 is barely getting into peoples hands but has already been jailbroken by renowned hacker @MuscleNerd (BTW, you can follow us on Twitter too). At this point, it’s more a proof of concept and MuscleNerd cautions it’s “Just a first step, still lots of work to do!”

There is no estimate on when the iPad 3 jailbreak will be publicly available, though typically things move quick from discovery to release. Because the iPad 3 shares a similar processor to the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, it’s quite likely those two devices will become jailbroken along the way. Assuming things go well, it’s possible some variation of an iOS 5.1 jailbreak for A5 devices will become available within a week or two.

Currently, iOS 5.1 is jailbreakable as tethered for older hardware only. Stay tuned for more.
