Thank you for pointing this out. The researchers are using a Beagleboard device for the exploit. Based on what they've said to the press so far, it sounds like a no-interaction tethered jailbreak (if it's truly functional on all Apple devices) or at best an untethered jailbreak on limited Apple devices. If this presentation is claiming the ability to install software on ALL non-jailbroken Apple devices running the latest OS version that survives a reboot of the device (once it's detached from the charger), then that's potentially worth more than any "malicious USB charger" talk (since the jailbreak community is currently unable to to do this).
