Apple had released iOS 5.0.1 only a couple of hours ago and the newly released firmware can be jailbroken using Redsnow. So if you want to jailbreak your iPhone 4/3GS, iPad 1 and iPod touch go ahead and follow the guide below to jailbreak.

Notes:

• There is no untethered jailbreak available for iOS 5, so likewise this jailbreak is a tethered one.

• iPad 2 can not be jailbroken right now, to jailbreak iPad 2 downgrade to iOS 4.3.3 and jailbreak using JailbreakMe 3.0

• If you rely on unlock do not update to iOS 5.0.1

• There is no jailbreak available for iPhone 4S, wait until further information.

• If you jailbreak you will lose the ability to update via OTA (Over The Air). You will need to plugin you iOS device to your computer and restore to get the ability back
