UPDATE: Jailbreak tutorials for Absinth can be found here: Windows, Mac OS X.
Pod2G announced on his blog that in a few hours an untethered jailbreak solution for iPad 2 and iPhone 4S called Absinthe will be released for all users. It will untethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S on iOS 5.0/5.0.1 and iPad 2 on iOS 5.0.1 as soon as it is available. The Dev Team will release a program that will allow you exactly the same thing but using only lines of code and not a user interface, so the Absinthe program is what you need to jailbreak on Windows or Mac. Absinthe is developed by the Chronic Dev Team and is now ready for release and if everything Pod2G said is true then by tonight or during the night we should have it available.
A tool named Absinthe and developed by the Chronic Dev Team will install the untether on your device. Also the iPhone Dev Team will release a CLI (command line) tool to help diagnose issues and repair things if it goes wrong. This is a little scary I know, but the chance you break something is really small, since we made lots of tests to verify the process on different devices. But it is the first time we use the backup / restore functions of iTunes to install software, and there are maybe things we are not aware of.
The information now offered by Pod2G they complement those offered by the Dev Team a few hours ago, but the untethered jailbreak solution is left to wait. When Absinthe will be released I will let you know in a new article.
