I think that he's trying to say that he took his AT3 to JAIL and than he BROKE it there!

I think its fairly safe to say that we can ignore his post ...
on-topic: historically speaking, a jailbreak on any ios device is inevitable. Lets hope it doesn't take forever.

I guess I'm missing a small piece of common sense but... I thought the Jailbreak was chip specific, so why so long for the update for 2nd Gen?

On top of that, some chips implement specific DRM technology. I don't think that is what is going on with the ATV but perhaps someone more knowledgeable about the architecture can chime in.
With that said, the wait doesn't seem to qualify as "so long" yet. A few weeks or even a few months seems reasonable. Expecting a hack in just less than a week is an expectation likely to be let down.

2nd Gen as in ATV2? Or 2nd Gen IOS as in ATV3/ATV 2012?
The ATV2 will always be able to be tether jailbroken rather quickly if any devs really pushed it(days assuming they didn't change anything from last beta ). No particular reason its taken awhile, usually within a few weeks. I feel we are still in the window. Firecore is already showing screenshots. Really an untether JB is the only practical way for the ATV2, I don't like dragging a laptop over to the thing every time I reboot or a power outage.

Download AirParrot for ten bucks. You can mirror your screen or select specific apps to run on the ATV3 from your computer. This only works on a mac though.
