Jailbreak Your iPad 2 or iPhone 4S with Absinthe

You can now set your iPad 2 and iPhone 4S free. Free from the restrictions placed upon them by Apple, and also free from their manufacturer's warranties. The Absinthe untethering tool was brought to you by the tireless hackers of Pod2g, the iPhone Dev Team and the Chronic Dev Team.

The Absinthe untethering tool can be found at greenpois0n.com or, if greenpois0n is under load, via pod2g. For help with using the Absinthe tool, check out the #greenpois0n IRC chat on irc.chronic-dev.org.

The new jailbreak tool is Mac-only for now, with a Windows version to follow. You can use it on an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1 (9A405 and 9A406) and an iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1 (Wifi, GSM, or CDMA).

While jailbreaking your iPhone or iPad is legal, it voids the warranty and can damage your device if done correctly. The upside: you can install apps banned by the iTunes App Store's arbitrary guidelines.
