iOS 5.0.1 For iPhone, iPad, iPod touch can be jailbroken with Redsn0w

For the jailbreakers among you, you'll be happy to hear that iOS 5.0.1 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch can indeed be jailbroken with Redsn0w. RedmondPie has tested and confirmed that Apple's latest version of iOS 5 can be tether-jailbreaked by using the latest version of Redsn0w. Redmond does note that the "SemiTether" patch continues to work, but iOS 5.0.1 "will not function to a satisfactory degree" on devices using SemiTether until users connect to Redsn0w on a Mac or PC.

Jailbreaking is best left to the more experienced, tech-savvy users, but if you're feeling adventurous, RedmondPie has all the details on how to jailbreak your Apple device running the very latest iOS release.

It should be noted that while it does work, Charlie Miller's code signing exploit is the current best hope for an untethered jailbreak, so the last I heard yesterday was that people should stay on iOS 5.0 if at all possible if they want a chance to go untethered in the near future.

Looks like link spam to me. The official site doesn't have a 2 in it.

Does anyone except a few diehard hackers really care about jailbreaking these days?

You seem to. I take it you aren't one of the few?

Everybody should jailbreak for the ease of use and functionality provided by InfiniFolders and SBSettings; the former removes the braindead 12 app limit on folders, and the latter provides quick access to toggle communications settings (3G, data, airplane mode, Bluetooth), adjust brightness controls, volume, and more. Everything else is gravy.

Also, LockDown Pro on my son's 3GS allows me to control what he has access to, as well what settings he can change (or not).

Does anyone know if the gevey unlock method they provide at the end of the linked article is a jailbreak or does it just update the OS without the new BB? I don't really want to have a tethered solution

Unlocking and jailbreaking are two completely different things. Unlocks rely on jailbreaks, not the other way around. As far as Gevey you should ask them, but no their product does not work on 5.x.
