Hacker winocm has announced that he will be releasing a solution for dual-booting iOS. He revealed the news on Twitter last night.

Just days ago winocm divulged that he's managed to hack his iPad 2 to triple boot iOS 5.1, iOS 6.1.3, and iOS 7.0.6. He posted a video to YouTube demonstrating the feat which we've embedded below.

KShizoku tweeted at the hacker saying, "I wish I could dual boot 6 and 7 like you ;)" to which winocm said, "You will. soon." He also noted that the "first revision will not be user friendly at all."

Winocm also recently demonstrated an untethered jailbreak of iOS 7.1 running on the iPhone 4. More details on that can be found here.

you could stay jailbroken while updating to the newer iOS... probably for iOS hackers it would be useful as well

I would add that iOS7 rendered my iPhone4 almost useless, slow and buggy. Would be great to be able to downgrade to the much faster iOS6...

Half the things are faster on iOS 7.
