Remember that new SHAtter exploit that was recently discovered? The one that will soon allow us to jailbreak every iDevice ever? Well, it's well on its way. Musclenerd, an eminent Dev-Team member, just posted a first video of this new jailbreak solution working on a fourth generation iPod touch.

It reportedly works just as well on any other iDevice, whether it's an iPhone 4 or an iPad. So, if you just got an iDevice or upgraded by mistake, your jailbreak-less days will soon be over.
