A5 jailbreak ‘Absinthe’ lands on almost 1M iDevices in the first 3 days

Wow this must really give Apple something to think about, perhaps it is time to listen to the jailbreak community and start implementing their ideas in the next iOS update. according to 9to5Mac.com just three days after the release of  “Absinthe,” the much anticipated free unteathered jailbreak tool for the iPhone 4S and iPad 2, the site announced that 1 million people jailbroke their A5 device in under three days.

Those numbers are pretty amazing, the reason why the Chronic-Dev team can pinpoint the exact numbers is that Cydia, the app marketplace that comes with the jailbreak offers some pretty neat statistical data. According to the team the jailbreak was installed 491,325 on an iPhone 4S; 308,967 on an iPad 2; and, 152,940 on an iPad 2 that had been previously jailbroken (iOS 4).

Like always, the Chronic-Dev team reminds you not upgrade off of 5.0.1 if you intend to keep the jailbreak. For those looking to jailbreak their device you can find the tools needed here.
