It's been more than two weeks since the iOS 5.0.1 untether was released. Both the Dev Team and Chronic Dev Team released untether solutions using pod2g's handy work, but it doesn't stop there.

iPhone 4S users are now going on three months without a jailbreak, and iPad 2 owners who upgraded to iOS 5 last summer are going on 7. But it looks like we won't have to wait much longer, as pod2g says the A5 jailbreak is just days away...
We know, we know, the wait is killing us, but all we have to relieve the tension is a few tweets from the "Dream Team" of iOS hackers working on the jailbreak for A5 devices, namely the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2.

With every passing day, the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 inches closer. To hold us over, pod2g has been great about releasing updates and details revolving around his progress.
