The Chronic Dev Team Has Already Received 10 Million Crash Reports From Jailbreak Fans

In a recent Twitter update, Joshua Hill (@p0sixninja) of the Chronic Dev Team has announced that already 10 million crash reports have been submitted by jailbreak fans via the Chronic-Dev Crash Reporter.
Last week, we told you how the Chronic Dev Team has made a crash reporter Mac and Windows program available, which sends users' iOS crash reports to the jailbreak team rather than to Apple. This allows the team to examine countless crash reports in search of potential exploits, which could be used to create an untethered jailbreak solution for iOS 5 (something that is not currently available).
Since the launch of the Chronic-Dev Crash Reporter, a massive 10 million crash reports have been submitted to the team.
Besides announcing the figure via Twitter, Joshua Hill also noted that the Chronic Dev Team is using MapReduce (the same technology used by Google) to run tests in mere seconds that otherwise would take days to complete. He also noted that @pod2g's exploit (which could untether iOS 5) is indeed legitimate, but is simply being "kept highly guarded until the right time."
Hopefully, the Chronic Dev Team will have an untethered jailbreak solution available soon. To help them out, download the Chronic-Dev Crash Reporter and send your iOS crash reports to the team. For more information on how you can do this, take a look at the team's original post regarding the program.
In the meantime, you can jailbreak iOS 5 using a semi-tethered solution. It's not ideal, but at least it works.
