The iPhone Dev Team Confirms: redsn0w Is Compatible With OS X Mountain Lion

Soon after Apple launched OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion in the Mac App Store (for $19.99), the iPhone Dev-Team quickly confirmed that its popular jailbreak tool, redsn0w, is compatible with the new version of OS X. This is good news for jailbreakers wishing to update to Mountain Lion, as it means they'll still have access to the redsn0w app for new jailbreaks, tethered boots and the like.
