redsn0w tethered jailbreak available for iOS 5 Beta 1

The iPhone dev released a new version of redsn0w that jailbreaks iOS 5 beta. The release is meant for developers to test their jailbroken apps with Apple's latest mobile operating system. The dev team warns people that this jailbreak will not bypass iOS 5 beta activation. You still need a developers account and a registered UDID to activate iOS 5 on your handset. The jailbreak is tethered only and compatible with the iPod touch 3G/4G, iPad 1, iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4 (GSM/CDMA).

Do not use the activate without being a dev hack. It doesn't allow you to connect to your carrier.

Your phone will become a giant iPod touch, and your iPad/ipod will brick.

Can anyone here verify that this workaround actually works?

Yes it worked on my iPhone 4, but I had no data service... none. Not even with Airplane mode enabled and Wi-fi turned on. I could see the cool features, but as soon as I restarted I had to do the hack again to get it to work. To really use the phone/ipod/ipad to it's potential for the iOS 5 Beta 1, you need to be a Dev with a registered UDID.
