The only certain differences are a few new exploits & the name of the utility/team, The single developer of the TaiG jailbreak Xiao Nan & the rest of the TaiG team have suggested possible working environments with the Pangu team later down the road

That'd be pretty sweet if they work together.

Ya, that would be great considering Pangu is a pretty solid team & the TaiG team is one of the very few, if not the only team to have a single developer R&Awesome face and develop a jailbreak so ya that would be exciting

I think you kind of answered your question yourself. iOS is used by a lot more people than those that own PS3's, therefore there is more of an interest and people working to find a jaibreak on the mobile operating system rather than PS3. Not saying that there aren't a lot of PS3 users interested in a jailbreak, but not near as many as for iOS.

To me its vital to know when updating to the newest jailbreak weather the tweaks and programs I get will actually work. and for this update they do NOT work. and most others DO NOT WORK either. though I am very sure in the near future they will just at this point and time they do not. I went through with this last night and it was not worth it IMO. so if your like me and your here reading and are unsure weather to do it or not. I would give it a while. maybe a month or so unless your willing and ok with not having the tweaks and other apps you typically use from cydia.
