Jailbreak For A5 iOS Devices Released 169
tlhIngan writes "It certainly took long enough, but the untethered jailbreak for Apple's A5 based iOS devices (iPad 2, iPhone 4s) has been released (official site, struggling due to traffic). It's currently only available for OS X, though ports of it to Windows are forthcoming."

A windows version is already out, google for "absynth 0.2 win".
If I were in your shoes, I'd be waiting. Usually, when a jailbreak comes out, lots of bug happen to be found and fixed in the first week.

The point is, if you want to make use of this jailbreak, you must go to iOS 5.0.1 RIGHT NOW and jailbreak or you won't get another chance until 5.1 is hacked, which is of course never guaranteed.

My sis say I should turn of 3G. It apparently drains the battery a lot, but I must be getting really old as I haven't figured how to do that, and no way will I ask her how.
The battery does last longer with 3G off, however you cannot turn it off wit the 4S, presumably due to Apple arrogance. However, there's a rumor floating around that the 5.1 update will put that switch back in. The source of that rumor is that the current beta builds has it available.

battery life up to a whooping 3 days
Don't you sleep? Plug your phone in when you go to bed, unplug it when you wake up. Then it's always juiced up. I do this as a matter of rote.
