Jay Freeman, aka Saurik, is one of the biggest iPhone jailbreak developers in the world. Freeman created Cydia — an app store for jailbroken iOS devices — and is almost necessary for any jailbroken iPhone. Yesterday, Freeman tweeted that he jailbroke another device — Google Glass.
#ifihadglass I would jailbreak it and modify the software (obviously). As Google actually sold me one; I did my part. cache.saurik.com/tinyimg/glassb…

But, Freeman isn’t the first developer to jailbreak — or “root” as Android users call its — Google Glass. A day earlier, popular developer Liam McLoughlin announced that he was able to jailbreak Google Glass as well.
I spoke to Saurik a few months ago and we discussed the difficulties surrounding the iOS 6 jailbreak. You can read the interview here.
