Apple throws a wrench in Jailbreaking for iOS 5

Apple throws a wrench in Jailbreaking for iOS 5

While iOS 5 may bring about MANY welcome changes to the Apple handheld experience, it looks like Apple may have just rained a monsoon on the jailbreaking community's parade. With the new iteration of iOS, Apple have axed the ability to save SHSH blobs, which is what allows users to downgrade to previous iOS firmware through iTunes.  Heck, even the iPad 2 doesn't have an untethered jailbreak at this moment. What this means is that if you are looking to downgrading your OS, you'll be limited to pre iOS5 firmware. This is not just a problem for potential jailbreakers.
